Situated on a little alley and hidden behind a heavy wooden door, this cozy and warm Japanese-style bar is perfect for some quiet drinks after work or catching up with friends. The hospitable staff, both originally from Kyushu in Japan, will be more than pleased to introduce you to their array of shochu (Japanese liquor) and cocktails. Reasonable prices, soft reggae music and a choice of bar, table or tatami mat seating make for a relaxed and comfortable environment. If you are looking to turn it up a notch, there are musical instruments available for customers. If you’re lucky, the owner may even sing for you!
The name YY's, says it all (standing for yin and yang). The Chinese philosophy is well-practiced at this laidback bar. As with most lovely establishments, this bar is also a hidden gem only a few patrons know about. With a location in the bustling and charming Huangpu District, it draws a diverse crowd. This bar exudes a kitschy-cool vibe with old-world charm, posters of a bygone era, wooden flooring, dark accents, and a well-illuminated bar. Drop in to savor drinks and quiet conversations.
Hidden down a small alleyway off of Donghu Lu, Monkey Lounge is the perfect place for a quiet and intimate drink. With no signage, the entrance to the bar is just a black door with a cryptic picture of a monkey philosopher on it. The bar itself is small, but the heavy velvet curtains and plush seating make it feel warm and welcoming. Both the crowd and the atmosphere are sophisticated and upmarket. The tasty drinks are not cheap, and there is also food available. If you can find the place, Monkey Lounge is great for a cocktail or celebratory bottle of bubbly.
Located inside the historic signal tower, Atanu Signal Tower is a great spot to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine whilst admiring Shanghai's impressive Pudong skyline. With a bar on the first floor and an outside seating area for the summer, this lounge bar has a 360-degree views of the Bund and Huangpu River. The bar itself has a relaxed lounge feel to it, with art deco features and soft music, making for a wonderful ambiance. Drinks are a little pricey, but with this bar you are paying for the splendid views. -Claudine Harris
