Bar in Shanghai, China
Book with PearlWhy go
Moon Bar is worth choosing for an easy, low-spend Xuhui drink when atmosphere matters more than cocktail technique. Expect a casual basement lounge feel, sci-fi blue lighting, rainbow neon, walk-in-friendly access, a better fit for pre-game hangs or relaxed small groups than formal date-night dining.
About Moon Bar
Moon Bar is a Shanghai venue with limited public detail in this guide. The confirmed basics are simple: the listed price is $10 per person, the dress code is casual.
Use this page as a cautious planning note rather than a full review. Moon Bar may be a fit when you want a casual, low-cost option in Shanghai, but details should be checked directly before you go if timing, seating, current offering, or group planning matters.
A casual Shanghai option with a low listed price
The clearest reason to consider Moon Bar is the price signal: $10 per person. That positions it as an accessible option compared with higher-spend venues, but it does not confirm what is included, what is served, or whether any specials are available.
The casual dress code also keeps expectations simple. For anything more specific, including reservations, opening hours, or the current offering, confirm directly with the venue.
Plan around confirmed details only
Location detail is Shanghai. No specific street address, district, landmark, or building information is confirmed in this guide, so avoid relying on location descriptions when planning your route.
Moon Bar is best treated as a lightly documented Shanghai listing: useful for its low listed price and casual dress code, but not enough to support detailed claims about atmosphere, menu, seating, or service format. If those details matter, check current information before committing your evening.
For broader planning, use Pearl’s full Shanghai bars guide if the night needs another venue, or use the Shanghai restaurants guide first if dining is the anchor. Travelers mapping a fuller trip can also cross-check Shanghai hotels and other Shanghai planning resources. Within Pearl’s wider coverage, keep Moon Bar as the relevant named reference point for this listing.

Bar context
How Moon Bar compares in Shanghai
Against Club Primus, Pony Up, Le Bouchon, Pudao, Epic, Moon Bar reads as the flexible pick rather than the research-heavy one. Use it when booking ease and a relaxed late stop matter more than a clearly documented drinks identity.
If the night needs a more intentional bar choice, start with Epic or Pony Up before defaulting here. If the priority is a quieter, lower-stakes plan, Moon Bar is the safer backup because it asks less advance commitment.
Value is hard to judge without listed pricing, so the decision should be about risk: Moon Bar is lower-risk for spontaneity, while Club Primus, Le Bouchon, Pudao, Pony Up, Epic are better cross-shops when the venue itself is the point of the evening.
