A multi-floor bar and live music venue near the Bund's northern end that has become a genuine hub for Shanghai's underground music and creative scene. The cocktails are affordable and decent, but the real draw is the programming — live jazz, electronic sets, and art events fill the calendar. The crowd is young, local, and genuinely cool without being exclusionary. Worth checking their WeChat for upcoming events before visiting.
