      永福路5号, 近复兴西路

      Phone


      Stalwart of the underground dance music scene, The Shelter provides a forum for both locally-based independent electronic artists and DJs, and new international alternative dance acts. A converted bomb shelter, the club is dark, sweaty, black, loud, and thumping. Virtually every single Shanghai independent promoter has a weekly or monthly party therein, and so music ranges on a given night from...

      Phone
      5213 5228


      The first club of the Muse group, Shanghai's current, many-armed overlord of nightlife, is a staple of the Shanghai clubbing scene. It's an events-based club, with a smattering of international DJs on the weekends, and the crowd trends towards young, beautiful, and locals with a splash of foreigners. Hip-hop dominates the first floor; upstairs is more of a mixed bag.

      A converted "talking bar", Not Me just off Hengshan Lu on Dongping Lu has a new emphasis on music oriented parties thrown by a few Shangahi-based independent promoters. Not Me is lots of lounge seating, a small patio, a loud, intimate dance floor, and a lot of action on their foosball table. Décor wise, it's decked out in purples and white leather, and kind of looks like a pimp robot's...

      Lola is a club, lounge, terrace, tapas place -- but mostly that first one. More indebted to the European pedigree of clubbing, Lola forgoes the tables, dice, and top 40 hip hop/mash up character of Chinese clubs for the European concentration on pumping sound systems (by Funktion One), state-of-the-art video installations, and the latest in continental house and techno. Drinks: It's a fairly...

      Possibly the only Russian restaurant in the city, the Flying Elephant has been bringing Shanghailanders borscht for many a year. Decor is simple, but the experience is made truly authentic by the live Russian band performing nightly. This crew of musical misfits (combined with a little vodka) gets the blood pumping around 9pm when the real fun starts.
