This snug, retro‑chic lounge on Xinhua Lu bills itself as a “hip seaside getaway” in the middle of the city. Operated by members of the lo‑fi pop outfit Me and My Sandcastle, it doubles as a home base for Shanghai’s creatives: you’ll find vinyl records and warm‑hued lighting, a small stage stocked with keys, guitars and drums, and cocktails named after the band’s songs like Blue Honey Boy and Vancouver. Beyond the jam nights, there’s a packed schedule of live music, DJ sets, tarot readings and film screenings. The vibe is low‑key and community‑oriented – a cozy spot for anyone who prefers an intimate gig over a cavernous livehouse.
