Volar: The Place to Party in Shanghai

Welcome to another Philippe Starck masterpiece. Designed with graffiti-splattered walls and a giant eagle with spread wings, this bar and nightclub is Shanghai's happening hotspot. The sister to Hong Kong's Volar, the club promises "not only a sultry lounge experience but also a sexy, energy-filled space for action-craving guests." Located minutes from FuXing Park and the Xintiandi district, Volar is a two-level concept bar. Downstairs is the open-to-all area, while upstairs is the exclusive members-only section. Hipsters, fashionable trendsetters, and music-lovers descend en mass for the chic nightlife experience. DIVA Wednesdays means free Grey Goose cocktails for all the divas in the house.
