Described as an 'American Cafe', Malone's is home to the most extensive burger menu in the city. Smack in the middle of Tongren Lu just around the corner from the Shanghai Center, Malone's is usually packed with expats and the out of town business crowd. Upstairs plays host to a Filipino cover band most nights, an extensive bar can satisfy any thirst, and the outdoor seating is quite appreciated...

Yet another venture from the team behind Rico Rico, Bikes & Friends and Mistral, Toro Loco is a Spanish restaurant and bar serving sangria, super cheap beer and a variety of tapas and other snacks like montaditos.

The Spot is a popular sports bar / restaurant catering to a diverse group of expats looking for food, drinks, bar games, and international sports on the TV.

With an emphasis on gastro fair, the dining options at The Spot meander between European and South...

Named after that little street those wacky Beatles trotted across, Abbey Road has become one of the most popular summer venues in Shanghai. With patio seating, cheap beer on tap and lots of (at times unfortunate) classic rock, this bar/restaurant is the ultimate expat venue. Abbey Road's menu includes mostly Swiss fare interspersed with some American.

The Camel joins the bustling bar street at Yueyang Lu, as that areas most massive sports bar. Australian management makes sure there's an Australian bent to the sport shown on the various televisions therein (Australian Rules Football is shown on direct feed). Massive selection of bottles and draft, Western menu, special events for large sporting events, private room in the back for parties,...

There are certain places that are perfect for watching sport. Oscar's in one of them. A selection of TV screens are scattered over the pubs two floors along with the obligatory pool table and dartbords; however the pub is small enough to retain a original feel to it. Imagine Cheers in the French Concession.

Just around the corner from the madness of Hengshan Lu, Eager Beaver is a recommended respite for anyone looking for the more relaxed atmosphere of a neighborhood local. Beaver's bottled beer list is one of the best in town and the pub food menu is quite respectable. Watch a game on the big TV, hone your skill at foosball, or simply shoot the breeze with your fellow drinker.
