YUYINTANG (YANAN XI LU)

Opened: September 14.

What: Shanghai’s long-standing live music house finds a new home after being shut down for licence issues in May.

Look: The latest incarnation of Yuyintang is clean and intimate with a capacity for about 100 people. All-black walls and a well-equipped stage reference the last version of this music salon. Other than that, it’s a long way from the original worn out, sweaty warehouse on Longcao Lu.

Music: Rock, rock, rock. By local and foreign bands alike.

People: Real rockers please.

Don’t miss: Relaxing on the backyard grass after the show.

Price: Cover charge for live shows is ¥30, maximum. Accessible to everyone.

Hours: Daily 9pm-2am.
