Meet locals and see the best the city has to offer by visiting Shanghai's best bars. Shanghai has a wide range of bars, from low-key quiet joints for chatting and hanging out, to loud raging parties where the alcohol never ceases to flow. You'll find your own favorite hangout in Shanghai's bar scene.
For an amazing experience on the Bund in Shanghai, head to Glamor Bar to start the night off right at one of the city's hottest bars. Continue the night by hitting up nearby Bar Rouge and finish off the tour of the Bund's elite bars by checking out Laris.
For a few well-known, packed and popular sports bars try Malone's American Cafe or Champion's Sports Bar. You'll find fellow sports fans and fanatics alike at these sports bars, downing beers, eating steaks and chatting up the waitresses.
For trendy, hip bars, why not head to Mural Bar or People 7, both of which attract a fun crowd that keeps the party going all night long.
For an upscale evening, Sky Lounge at the top of Jin Mao Tower offers the best view of the city as well as delicious martinis. Sasha's, in the French Concession, is a romantic location of similar quality offering charm rather than views.
