Editor's Description

Last updated: April 20th, 2009


The newest addition to Shanghai's alternative clubbing scene, The Shelter is a no-frills basement club offering up the cornerstones of a great night out: cheap drinks, great atmosphere, and creative music. Large dance floor for bigger events and a great lounge area in the back for more low-key nights. Check the listings for individual event information.
