Shanghai offers several distinct areas for nightlife, each suiting different preferences.
The Bund, along the Huangpu River, is known for its upscale rooftop bars and lounges that offer views of the Pudong skyline. These establishments typically feature craft cocktails and a more refined setting. You'll find many of these concentrated in the historic buildings lining the riverfront.
The Former French Concession is a larger district with a diverse array of options. Areas like Fuxing Lu and Dongping Lu have many wine bars, cocktail lounges, and restaurants that turn into bars later in the evening. This area is characterized by its tree-lined streets and European-style architecture, providing a pleasant setting for evening strolls between venues.
Xintiandi is a pedestrian area composed of renovated traditional shikumen houses. It's home to numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars, many of which have outdoor seating. The nightlife here is generally more relaxed, focusing on dining and drinks in a refined setting.
Jing'an District, particularly around Nanjing West Road and Yan'an Middle Road, offers a mix of high-end hotel bars, sophisticated lounges, and some live music venues. It's a central business district, so you'll find places that cater to a professional crowd looking for quality drinks and a comfortable environment.
For a more energetic experience, areas around Found 158 (near Datian Road) feature underground bars, clubs, and international eateries.
