M1NT

M1NT is one of the poshest clubs in Shanghai. It's on the top floor of a skyscraper near the Bund and affords nice views of the city. Inside, there are shark tanks and lots of luxurious decor, plus a high-end restaurant, a club and a lounge area. Drinks are pricey, but not silly money. Music is commercial house, mash-up, some funky house in the week. Clientele is mixed Chinese and foreign, lots of young people on the dance floor and older, dressy folk at tables. There's a door policy, so if you want to be assured of entrance, either get a membership card or phone ahead and reserve a table.

Breathtaking views, outrageously funky music, hip furniture, first class service, succulent snacks and simply the best organic cocktails combine to make M1NT's Lounge the envy of the industry.It's good for a dance in a cool setting, as long as the right DJ/artist is on.
