Best Underground Clubs in Shanghai
The five best underground nightclubs in shanghai.
Shanghai has a thriving underground music scene - which isn’t often documented.
This video gives an overview of the five best spots for decent electronic music in Shanghai.
This list will focus on the venue's:
atmosphere
sound system quality
booking quality
5. Celia
298 Xingfu Lu, near Pingwu Lu.
幸福路298号
I once visited and it was dead, I don’t remember too much about it, but remember they told me to come back after I was finished wherever I was meant to be going that night - its open late.
I know they sometimes have tech house bookings
4. C’s Bar
685 Dingxi Lu, near Yanan Xi Lu
定西路685号, 近延安西路
C’s is a little further out and you can tell from the décor, walls plastered in graffiti with some winding tunnels – I couldn’t even find the bathroom at first. I love these venues – full of character and I can only hope this sticks around in Shanghai. They seem to have various nights ran by different promoters – I’ve seen nights advertising techno, psytrance, acid and house. If they had a decent booking or two, this place might be number one.
3. Xspace
3/F, 77 Jiangning Lu, near Fengxian Lu
江宁路77号3楼, 近奉贤路
Great bookings – I saw pender street steppers there and I know efdemin will be there soon, however when I was there, the sound was not good enough and the venue lacks the atmosphere of others in this list.
2. ALL
2F, 17 Xiangyang Bei Lu, near Changle Lu
襄阳北路17号2楼, 近长乐路
Capacity around 400 - the quality of bookings here is probably only second to Elevator – which is sadly no longer with us – though I know they host many parties at Xspace (previously mentioned). I’ve seen Objekt and Kode 9 DJ here, both decent nights. I know Pariah also played, and Bruce will be playing too. The venue is cool, with extremely dim lighted seating in one half, and a dance floor in the other. The sound is better than some places on this list – but does not compete with modern sky lab.
1. DADA
115 Xingfu Lu, near Fahuazhen Lu
幸福路115号, 近法华镇路
Capacity around 200 - this place has a great amount of soul and atmosphere – with graffiti sprawled walls – bin bags for lockers – a gritty raised dance floor – and leather sofas for those who need a breather. They sometimes have bookings but usually just have local DJ’s playing techno, house, acid etc. They also run a hip-hop night on a Thursday. This place doesn’t have the most famous bookings or the best sound, but it can definitely show you a good night. There’s something about the dance floor, it just makes you wanna dance. This place feels a little more worn in and a little less sterile than the others on the list. I think that’s the key factor.
OTHERS
Mansion
851 Hongjing Lu, near Hongqiao Lu, Changning district
长宁区虹井路851号皇朝别墅B-18, 近延安西路
Really far out, crazy party house, residents play. Heard great things.
44KW
B1/F, 158 Julu Lu, near Ruijin Yi Lu
巨鹿路158号B1楼, 近瑞金一路
In found 158 – the reason I haven’t mentioned this in my top 5 is because I have not been there – I do know they have a void sound system and some great bookings – john talabot was there earlier this year, as well as someone else I cant remember.
I need to get there asap – it will probably be much higher up this list.
Modern Sky Lab
3/F, 188 Ruihong Lu, near Tianhong Lu
瑞虹路188号3楼, 近天虹路
Simply the sound – if you get the chance to see a good DJ here – go. They usually have bands play here – the week before I saw four tet here, cigarettes after sex were playing, anyway the venue is not my favourite – but the sound is impeccable.
Definitely worth a visit.
Café Des Stagieres at Found 158
B1/F, 158 Julu Lu, near Ruijin Yi Lu
巨鹿路158号B1楼, 近瑞金一路
This place is within an underground lair full of bars along Julu Road (Found 158). This place is full of expats and is sometimes known as “Laowai Dongwuyuan” which means Foreigner Zoo. So Café des stagieres is inside, it's originally French, they have decent beer on tap and residents play mostly disco and house, sometimes some other genres like reggae and dub may be playing – depending on the night.
THE TOP FIVE -
5. Celia
4. C’s Bar

Dada - #Shanghai Dive Bar
Dada is a classic Shanghai dive bar / small-club that has local DJs spinning house and underground dance music Thursday-Saturday. Situated in the middle of Xingfu Lu, it caters to a younger Chinese and expat crowd in a comfortable, pretentious-free environment. Drinks are cheap (30-40rmb), there's ample lounge seating, and music varies from night to night depending on whose playing. The club is managed by a Shanghai-based independent promoter, so expect the DJ/music crowd lounging therein. They've got deals on Vedett, Beer Lao, cheap Tiger drafts, cheap mixes, and changing drink specials. Friday and Saturday are always busy by midnight, whereas Thursdays are totally hit or miss. Recommended.

Love Bang #17 @ Dada Shanghai
Notch 17 on the Love Bang gig list is a send off party for their West-China tour.
Shanghai's monthly dance party, Love Bang, is about to head west for a few shows in Chengdu and Chongqing. Everybody knows that West China is filled with polar bears and hungry ghosts, so this may be Love Bang's last party in Shanghai.

Not so long ago, one of Shanghai's most beloved clubs (Shelter) closed down for good. But the founder has poured himself into a new venue for the city's alt-music crowd, and ALL seems here to stay.

SHANGHAI NIGHTLIFE : Where to go out?
There are so many bars and clubs to try out in Shanghai ... So here are my recommendations, 10 places to go crazy at night, have a drink, grab a beer, chat with your friends, or dance until morning!
WARNING : This description might be more useful than the video itself
I talk a lot about alcohol in this video, but of course I absolutely think you can have just as much fun without drinking, and if you choose to drink alcohol please do so in moderation. The party culture is strong, especially amongst exchange students, but don't make yourself sick! Drink responsibly.
Also, I didn't mention it in the video, but be careful about your drinks, moreso if you're a woman. In general, Chinese clubs' alcohol, especially if it's free, is very low quality and can make you ill easily, but even more, I personally had my drink spiked and I know other girls who got their drinks roofied at parties. As you would anywhere else in the world, don't accept free drinks that you haven't seen served in front of yourself, try to have alcohol from unopened bottles if you're at a table, and don't leave your glass unattended. This may seem really obvious and unnecessary to say, but I would feel bad for not insisting on it.
If you want to contribute to the subtitles, here you go : (thank you so much in advance !)
