The action centers on Sanlitun (expat bars, clubs) and Workers Stadium (mega-clubs like Vics). The underground scene thrives in Gulou hutongs. Last subway ~midnight — have DiDi ready. Most clubs open 10pm–6am.
The Bund is iconic for rooftops and glamour. French Concession for creative bars and speakeasies. Xintiandi for upscale KTV and lounges. Shanghai nightlife runs the latest in China — some clubs close at 8am.
OCT Loft for creative bars and live music. Futian CBD for mega-clubs and bottle service. Young, wealthy crowd. Very bottle-service oriented — budget for a table if going to a big club. DiDi works perfectly all night.
DiDi — your taxi home (must have). WeChat — book tables, pay everywhere. Alipay — pay at the door. Meituan — find venues and deals. 小红书 RedNote — see real photos of venues before going.
