Channel Nine - 200 Tiantung Lu, across Suzhou Creek behind Shanghai
Mansion. A Disco / bar defdicated to those who don't necessarily agree with
the proposition "Vie La Difference". Ably run by manager Stanley and a crew
of dedicated DJ's. A good space, good selection of music, the bar to the
side is pleasant. Warning: watch the steps!Club Absolute, 122 Shaanxi Nan Lu. Excellent disco, some of the best dancers in town. Shanghai-ed's favorite place for a late night boogie. 9:30pm-2:30am, 6279-2111 Galaxy Entertainment Centre disco Galaxy Hotel, 8pm-3am, 6275-2999 Hollywood Disco & Karaoke, Rainbow Hotel. 8pm-1am., 6275-3388. JJ's - even now, possibly the most famous disco in Shanghai, nearly two years after it closed. You can still see the cave-like entrance next to the Yanan Hotel on Yanan Lu. Several people have looked at re-opening it, but with no luck. It's in the dreaded "feng-shui zone" of Yanan Lu, which effects entertainment establishments in much the same was as the Bermuda Triangle impacts on stray aircraft. May-May has exclusively and correctly warned of the existence of the fengshui gremlins in this part of town, but the city fathers have so far turned a deaf ear to anguished pleas to call in Ghostbusters. LA Cafe - This is a multi-purpose nightspot on Huaihai Lu (ask the taxi driver to take you to Fulin Huanggong), much frequented by Hong Kong residents and visitors. Karaoke, bar, occasional music and .... a disco. There has been a long running battle between the disco's four-on-the-floor bass throb on one side of the wall and live music on the stage in the bar on the other side of the bar. No prices for guessing which is winning. Nicole's - disco in Sheraton Huating Hotel. 8pm-2am., 6439-6000 New York New York, 146 Huqiu Lu. A cosy disco situated in an old French theatre, arguably the best in town, a much more interesting place architecturally than the cavernous approach taken by more recent discos. You can stand upstairs and watch the gyrating dancers, while the hormones dance their own dance above them. Also has KTV and a restaurant, which serves pretty good Shanghai noodles. 8pm-2am (5am weekends), 6321-6097 Reading Room Disco, JC Mandarin Hotel, 6279-1888
