Equally loved and despised by much of Shanghai's partisan nightlife public, Windows has stood by its formula of cheap drinks and blaring commercial hip-hop with years of continued success. Nearly always jam packed with a mix of young locals and expats and open very late, Windows makes for a convenient last stop for one more drink or a desperate hook up.

Windows Scoreboard is the newest addition to the Windows bar chain, and this one takes their tried and true formula of rock-music-sports-pub and splashes it out in a big beer hall on the 11th floor of an office building. The huge room is split into smoking and non smoking sections, with all the bar games you're looking for (pool, darts, beer pong, foosball), and Windows cheap drinks to match. ...

Windows Underground has come up from the depths and become Windows Garage. The formula is the same: a large, cheap bar with bargain basement food and the cheapest drinks in town. Sports on the big screens and pounding hip-hop on the system. Of all the Windows, this one tends to draw a more Chinese crowd.
