Hip-hop, dub, techno and d'n'b all sound good in this underground spot where the drinks are reasonable, people smile while they dance and the pretentious need not apply.

No chrome, no flashy lightshows, no rolling dice, no sparklers in Champagne bottles, great music. A breath of fresh air (despite all the tobacco smoke).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18503 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17502 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17502 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17446 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17446 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1321 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1321 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5159
It has become somewhat of a magnet for the cities well to do, including a scattering of national, and international, celebrities.

However, the bar also typifies China’s almost super human commitment to ignoring any concept of customer services and Bar Rouge takes this attitude to new levels. Many one time punters come away scoffing at paying 80RMB for a drink and not only not getting a smile but more often than not actually being ignored. (This probably stems from the fact that a round of drinks here is roughly equivalent to the waitresses’ nightly earnings.)

So, the services isn’t great, (or down right awful) the drinks are expensive and understatement doesn’t do justice to the word pretentious, but hey, this is Shanghai in 2006 – what was it you expected?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5159 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1783 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1783 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1781 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1781 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1522
Little more needs to be said, but the often anarchic atmosphere of this place makes a welcome change from the soporific tone of others in the area. And the beer's better priced too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1522 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1421 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1421 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1066 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1066 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1038 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1038 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1003 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1003 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/998 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/998
