Where to watch the World Cup in Shanghai - pubs and bars (06/29/2010)

1. The Camel
Address: 1 Yueyanglu Street, Xuhui District, Shanghai, China.
Tel: 021-64379446

You can find simple meals in this place and some female soccer fans here. There are 16 TV screens. This is a very popular place for the soccer fans in Shanghai. Because this bar is open recently, it is like a brand new place for the soccer fans.

2. Shanging Loft
Address: 739 Jia Xidinglu Street, Changning District, Shanghai.
Tel: 021-52307757

There are about 200 TV screens in Shanghai Loft. In the World Cup period, they offer some small games for the soccer fans to win little gifts here.

3. Windows Jiuguang Store
Address: 1618 Nanjingxilu Street, Jinan District, Shanghai.
Tel: 021-62889007

This is the favourite bar for the foreigners in Shanghai. The cost is not high here and you can find a lot of pretty boys and girls here. There are many TV screens for the World Cup games too.

4. Zapata's club
Address: 5 Hengshanlu Street, Xuhui District, Shanghai.
Tel: 021-64746166, 021-64334104

They have 3 big TV screens and the wines and food is very good here. (delicious South African food)

5. Bulldog
Address: 1 Jia Wulumuqinanlu, Xuhui District, Shanghai.
Tel: 021-64667878

Although it recently dropped the all-too descriptive "British" from it's name, The Bulldog will always be a good place to hit up if it's pouring rain and you're in the mood for some London pub atmosphere.

Customer Review:
Went here on April 29 and had the regular hamburger with fries. The fries were great (tough to screw that up) but the burger was average to below average. Granted I have only been in China for a week so I'm probably not used to the difference between a Chinese bar burger and a US bar burger, but I would not get that again. I have to say, however, that the drink specials they have more than outweigh the food. I would definitely go back here with my wife or a group of friends for drinks and atmosphere - just not pub grub.
