Mint
Mint occupies the 2nd floor of Woo Villa, known as the Green House, designed by Ladislaus Hudec in 1938 and previously owned by the family of architect IM Pei. It's a stylish, intimate place that attracts both Western and local hipsters. On Thursdays there's a popular salsa night, while Friday is R&B. The rest of the time it's house. There's a cool feel to the place, but you need to get here early on weekends. It's closed on Sunday.

Pirates
This out of the way bar is one of the best in town and attracts dressed-down hipsters, who could be called the anti-Bar Rouge crowd. The front room is a cool white space to drink in, while on weekends the back room hosts DJs who play the sort of cutting-edge sounds you won't hear anywhere else in Shanghai. It gets busy on Fridays and Saturdays, when it's around Y40 to get in.

Yifu Theatre
Just east of People’s Square, this theatre stands out with its huge opera mask above the entrance. On the program is Beijing opera, Kunqu and Yueju opera, with a Beijing opera highlights show performed several times a week at 1.30pm and 7.15pm. Tickets range from Y30 to Y380.

DKD
This basement club is the only place in Shanghai playing progressive house on a regular basis. As such, it's a mostly teenybopper-free zone. It's not as popular as it once was but it gets busy if a big-name DJ is playing. It's free to get in most nights.

Bonbon
With the backing of the Godskitchen clubbing crew, Bonbon has become the destination of choice for a very young mixed crowd of Chinese and Westerners. Mainstream hip-hop party favourites keep the small dance floor packed.
