(Lang Ba; 6322 9988; 2 East Zhongshan No 1 Rd; 2 4pm-1am; ; East Nanjing Rd) For a taste of colonial-era Shanghai’s elitist trappings, you’ll do no better than the Long Bar. This was once the members-only Shanghai Club, whose most spectacular accoutrement was a 34m-long wooden bar. Foreign businessmen would sit here according to rank, with the taipans (foreign heads of business) closest to the view of the Bund.

Now part of the Waldorf Astoria, the bar’s original wood-panelled decor has been painstakingly recreated from old photographs. There’s a good selection of old-fashioned cocktails as well as an oyster bar.

(1st fl, 68 East Jinlong Rd; 68 1 7pm-2am Tue-Sun; Yuyuan Garden) There are few bars in Shanghai as endearingly quirky as this one: the Japanese owners rock to a reggae soundtrack while serving a head-spinning variety of shochu, liquor distilled from rice, sweet potato or barley.
