Part of the very earliest generation of LGBTQ+ bars in Shanghai, Asia Blue is the city’s oldest gay bar still currently in operation. Owner Andy debuted the first version of Asia Blue back in 2000 on Huashan Lu, when Shanghai nightlife was a very different animal and opening a bar catered to gay men was a trailblazing endeavor. Asia Blue relocated to its new location, occupying a cozy cubby on the second floor of the same building Lucca is in. The joyfully campy décor features mint green walls, porcelain replicas of Michelangelo’s David and a “private KTV room” on the raised loft space.
