Open since 2004, Bar Rouge is the most famous club in Shanghai, and sets the standard for Bund nightlife with its terrace view, classy, sleek interiors and iconic French-Shanghai identity. Bar Rouge kicks off the weekend early with themed parties on Thursdays and always runs early in the morning on Friday and Saturday. A must-visit for out-of-towners sampling the high end of Shanghai nightlife. Music is generally house, and quite decent, but occasionally they have latin or hip hop for special events. Notes: guys can't get in with sandals. Gets really busy on weekends, when they usually have a cover charge of around 100rmb (Pro tip: you can often use the password "Miss Rouge" to dodge the cover before midnight).

This is one of the poshest clubs in Shanghai. It's on the top floor of a skyscraper near the Bund and affords nice views of the city. Inside, there are shark tanks and lots of luxurious decor, plus a high-end restaurant, a club and a lounge area. Drinks are pricey (~100rmb). Music is commercial house, mash-up, some funky house in the week (they play more R&B and hip hop in the lounge). Clientele is mixed Chinese and foreign, lots of young people on the dance floor and older, dressy folk at tables. There's a door policy, so if you want to be assured of entrance, either get a membership card or phone ahead and reserve a table. Strict dress code enforced here, to the point where they will sell you pants for a few hundred RMB if you try to come in wearing shorts.

Popular Bund restaurant and lounge by Michelin-starred Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco. They get busy at night, with live latin music parties, salsa nights, ladies nights, and weekday events like their Tuesday salsa party. It's a good, casual-but-impressive destination for friends and guests. The quiet window seats in the back are good for dates, and groups will dig the couches in the front. Sometimes they bring in big DJs like Questlove, but most times the music is Latin or soulful / jazzy house. They also have a cigar lounge and a molecular cocktail bar called el Lab. Food is mostly tapas, and good, but not cheap -- expect to pay 200-400rmb per person, at least. You can get a burger for around 100rmb, but it's not the best. Note: men cannot wear shorts or flip-flops.
