Top 5 Day Drinking Spots in Huangpu

2017-06-27 ShanghaiWOWeng


Huangpu District makes up the eastern part of Shanghai's traditional urban core, and is pretty much in the center of Shanghai. Day drinking here let’s you take in places like West Nanjing road and Xintiandi, making your day drinking experience quite favorable. It also touches on the Former French Concession as it incorporates the former district of Luwan.

 

The beauty about day drinking in Huangpu is that the decent places are kind of off the beaten track. The roads the bars are on are pretty too, on tree lined, quiet streets where you can get your drink on in peace. You know, you’re in China and it’s good to see the places where the locals live. A few of the spots on this day drinking list let you do just that.

 

The day drinking spots in Huangpu are about you relaxing and enjoying yourself when you have a midweek day off and want to get your drink on. These spots aren’t for visiting family or showing off when you’re being zhuangbi. They are simply nice spots in the center of town that have decent drinks at good prices.

 

Windows Garage

 


Address: B1, 698 West Nanjing Road, near Qinghai Road

Hours: Open from 11am


The Windows bars are known for great day drinking spots. They’re open early, and do really cheap booze and pub food all day. Perfect. The former Windows Garage has relocated, but don’t fret, it's only moved two doors down, so is essentially in the same place. The new place keeps the same formula by selling some of the cheapest drinks in town. There are also big screens to watch sports. Maybe you wouldn’t want to stay all day, but it’s a great spot to get started day drinking for sure.


Dean’s Bottle Shop



Address: 37 Shaoxing Road, near South Shanxi Road

Hours: Open from 12pm

 

This place looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but they stock a staggering range of exotic alcohol, from beer and wines to rum, tequila, vodka and, whiskey including bourbons. Because you’re buying by the bottle the price isn’t sky high either, and means a good afternoon day drinking here won’t break the bank. There's a small area where you can sit and drink in the shop, and there’s a little side bar outside too, so you can stand on this pretty, quiet little road and people watch. Or maybe they’re watching you…

 

The Beer Shelf

 


Address: 232 Danshui Road, near Middle Fuxing Road

Hours: Open from 11am

 

This excellent little Belgian beer bar has friendly staff and good prices, exactly what you’re looking for in a day drinking spot. If beer is your day drinking tipple then this place is well worth a visit. From 2pm to 9pm is happy hour on draft beer. It includes two IPA for RMB80, two lagers for RMB50 or two white beers for RMB60. It’s pretty much in Xintiandi, so you can spend an afternoon getting sloshed on this lovely leafy road, then stagger round the corner to have a look in the Tesla shop.


The Brewer

 


Address: 200 Taicang Road, near Madang Road

Hours: Open from 11am

 

This spot is kind of like a Shanghainese version of Paulaner. They sell beer by the liter for RMB128, which is cool if you’re day drinking with a crew. A half liter is RMB68. There’s plenty of outside seating, including a bar that looks out onto the road, so you can people watch. The menu isn’t bad and has perfect day drinking pub grub with dishes like Portuguese chicken and rice or stewed beef and vegetables. Inside is quite dark, for those who like to day drink unnoticed. It’s near a lot of transport so you could get nicely drunk and then head off to pretty much anywhere in town after. 

 

Brew Bear (The Loft)

 


Address: Suite 109, 283 Jianguo Road, near Jiashan Road

Hours: Open from 11am

 

This spot has a huge range of draft and bottled beer, including Goose Island Honkers ale, Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA, Haacht Mystic Cherry, Founders Oatmeal Stout and many, many more. It’s set in the little courtyard of The Loft. There’s some really nice outdoor seating to people watch, and there’s a couple of restaurants should you get hungry. This spot is great for day drinking because it’s off the main road in a nice enclosed area and close to the French Concession.
