Frommer's Review

This is an institution, with nearly continuous performances since the 1930s and an octogenarian member or two from pre-1949 days still playing. The drinks are predictably expensive and the music (old New Orleans standards) isn't always super, but the atmosphere is sheer nostalgia and no evening could be more Old Shanghai than this. Heads of state have dropped in here to hear Shanghai renditions of all the old standards. Performances start nightly at 8pm in the historic Art Deco jazz bar at the rear of the main lobby.
