I was walking in Xin Tian Di at 11 pm, a place for bar, restaurants and night clubs recommended by Grand Hyatt shanghai hotel. A nice looking guy approached me and said that if i want to have some fun and happy time in a karaoke bar with beautiful girls, he can help me. He seems very innocent and friendly. He said his name is jimmy. First i was so suspicious but he assured me that if you don’t like the place and girls we can go back. We take a taxi and 5 minutes later we were in a bar in second floor with a red light entrance. I thought that inside the bar everything is normal, 6 girls came to karaoke room and I select one of them, then they (girl and bar manager) started to ask tip, as I was there for fun I gave them 300 RMB and then bar manger ask that if I have some dollar or euro give them some but I had only RMB. So she checked my wallet to see how much money I have, then I had love with girl and here the story just begin, the girls take 400 and bar manager(woman) asked for more tip for a boy who they said he is a poor boy working for cleaning the bar. The boy bring me a bill for a beer and two snack and a plate of water melon that I never noticed them before, also having love and room rent and … a 14000 RMB, around 2200 $ for a 30 minute love making, oh my god, I said that it is a big rubbery, suddenly another man come to the room and said he is boss and I should pay the bill. I said I will call police , and he punched me in the face , I was shocked , he said if I want to call the police I should write down that I had sex with a student that is illegal. After some time I try to give them money to free myself because they took a beer bottle and show me that they will kill me if I don’t pay them. They took 4000 RMB all cash that I had( around 640$) and charge my credit card 3000 (476$) more. Hopefully this card had only a maximum 500$ credit. After paying 1100 $ for a very bad night with a painful soring face, I was freed to take a taxi to hotel. As I had to go back home one day later and also I did not trust police in China because they know what is happening there for sure, I decided to just share this with you for your safety and may be saving your life. Be careful and do not trust in Jimmies.
It happened tonight to me.

The Apartment is located in the middle of French Concession, on Yong fu Rd in Shanghai. It looks like a NYC-style loft, with cozy beaten leather sofas, a rooftop terrace, and even a whole bed! There are 2 rooms, Apartment 301 and Apartment 302, one with more of a lounge vibe and live music, and the other with a bigger dancefloor, more retro styling and a party vibe. Toilets in this place are always super clean!! - big plus if you are a girl;)
They are also open in the daytime and serve quite good food, with pizzas being served till 2-3am at night!
Definitely a good place to try if you like stylish bars/restaurants!

Dragonfly Spa is my favorite place to receive some great massage. They have stores both in Pudong and Puxi. Besides the traditional Chinese or Japanese massage, My favorite massage service is called "head to toe", where you are serviced by two people for a full hour, one working on your shoulder and head, while the other massages your feet. ohhhhh.. it is just sooooo good!!

Found a great bar under the Bund named "I Love Shanghai". Met a lot of expats there and some locals. The owner is from Seattle and ha s a really good bar going. Everyone was friendly and the drinks were inexpensive. They were having Texas Hold'em night when I was there (on a Sunday). Big crowd for that.

If you tire of Xintiandi, this is a good place to go for nocturnal drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) and nibbles. It's slightly difficult to find, and the entrance is deliberately discreet and cryptic - you'll have to solve a puzzle to get in. Once you've found the solution, the front door opens magically to reveal a multi-room bar/restaurant. Drinks and food cost roughly the same as the bars in Xintiandi, and it's less of a "meat market" compared to Xintiandi. The loo doors can be equally confusing to work out. I shan't spoil your fun, but think airlines!
Dress Code: Smart casual.

Before my first trip to Shanghai i had done a lot of research and found this bar on the net, well i could not beleive my luck at finding it on this trip and had to check this place out! Shirley was finding her boys and a place to eat so i was gone to discover Jenny's bar! On entering i felt completely at home with Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits playing away and promptly found a stool at the bar. The barmaids English was limited but did inform me that it was happy hour on the tap Tiger beer, so you don't have to tell rabbit twice!! Some Jethro Tull was playing as i asked for the bathroom, but the young bar ladies only understood beer, so off i went to search and was lucky, found them out the back, ya! After downing a few of those lovely cold beers (as it was hot as outside) and listening to Fleetwood Mac, Jenny came along so rabbit introduced himself, told Jenny he had seen her place on the internet and Jenny says "your having a free beer for that!" After some Rolling Stones it was time to say goodbye...sob sob.....
Thank you Jenny and as promised, Rabbit will be back!!
Dress Code: Casual and be ready for a good time!

One of the many famous bars for expats and visitors alike. This was always busy during the evenings and very welcoming. Food is available such as pizzas or there is Indian food on the top level. Also the rest rooms are on the top level so be careful coming back down the stairs after too many happy hour beers....lol Do not worry about the barman that does not speak English, he will show you on his calculator when he wants some money and the menu is easy to understand!
Dress Code: As this is where rabbit would sneak off to when Shirley is busy so we named it the first bar, which Shirley would know where to find me (as it is the first in a row of bars) therefore the dress code is casual!!...lmao

This place is located in one of the cities biggest tower, the Jin Mao Tower and a part of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai Hotel. Once you step inside this seemingly space age structure, you'll be greated not only with a contemporary atmosphere but incredible views of surrounding Shanghai. The service is a bit on the slow side, however. But I guess it gives you more time to socialize. There was no cover, but it's still a fairly expensive place. I ordered an appetizer and 2 bottles of water that totaled out to apx. 388 RMB. The bottled water did it, I think 60 RMB each if I can remember. Expensive waters. Be prepared to dish out a bit. Or simply enjoy one of their selections of wines and drinks and sip it slow while enjoying the great views. If you can, get an area near the windows that gets the great views. If you go in the bathrooms, you'll find an attendant that will even give you a massage while you wash your hands! Now that's class!!
Dress Code: The business casual seems to be favored here, since it seems to be a meeting spot for a lot of executive-type people. However, I went in with a leather jacket, jeans and regular shirt and shoes and experienced no problems.
