About RICE Bar

RICE Bar is a long-running, low-key LGBTQ+ lounge on Fahuazhen Road. Its intimate setting, friendly service and unhurried atmosphere make it a useful counterpoint to Shanghai’s larger dance clubs.

What to expect

A small, conversation-friendly lounge with cocktails, background music and a mainly local LGBTQ+ crowd.

Vibes

Good to know

Practical tips before you visit

The bar is upstairs on the second floor.
It is better for conversation than for a full club night.
Carry the Chinese address for taxis and local map apps.

One of the loveliest bars I've been to. The owner is super friendly and helpful, the bartender knows his stuff and the cozy environment just makes you feel relaxed and safe. Oh, and Monday, the owner's dog is a sweetheart. He sat with us and accepted our pets gracefully even though we had no treats. Will put it on the should revisit list. Thank you for feeding us welcome!

Adorable gay bar in Shanghai that has a very cozy feel. I liked the selection of Japanese whiskeys and hot men. It was a 10 minute walk from bar Luca, which I also enjoyed.

Awesome neighborhood gay bar. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. He spoke fluent English and had owned the establishment for 15 years. The bar is a cozy 2nd floor bar, with plenty of seating areas and nicely decorated. Make sure to say hello to “Monday”, who is the cute resident dog. Highly recommended place!

A super-talented bartender can make you the classics or freestyle. Owner is v friendly. Atmosphere is cozy, chic and friendly. So glad I went in search of this great bar. Oh…and Monday, the bar dog is a sweetheart.
