Manhattan Bar Shanghai
one of the most popular place for have a drink in the night, but also a good place to meet hookers from the philippins and other places of the world. opened till early morning, they also play great music. directly in the neigborhood of the big bamboo, you also can combine it with a short visit there.
no girls there work for the bar, but 95% of the girls will go home with you, most of them are vietnamese, thai and philipino girls.

Update......visited the bar last night. Spoke with a few different girls in there. Chinese girl wanted 3000RMB for the night, the next girl, Philipino, wanted 1500 for 2hrs, the next girl Vietnamese wanted 1500 but would take 1200........however, even though we left very late........she still got up and left to get back to the bar before closing..........so, I'm not entirely sure I believe a lot of what's written on here about girls being happy to stay the night unless of course, that's the uglier girls and they are just happy to find someone. I had the choice of any girl in that place but the cold hard facts is that the girls there are there to earn money, nothing more. They'll say anything to get you to take them back to your place. After I had finished last night, I made a vow never to return to these kinds of bar as it's so easy to find a woman to sleep with you for money and I don't think I need it as much as that......... I spent a few hours in the bar watching the girls in action last night and the guys there too. It's just like a cattle market.
I'd say to any guy out there that if you want to get laid then it's the easiest place in the world to get laid but just don't expect anymore than that or you'll be disappointed. There are some great looking women in there and you'll probably never get a chance to lay anything as good looking in your life without paying for it so for some guys it'll be just amazing........

I tried the Manhattan Bar on Weds evening. I was almost pounced on as I got through the door. The place was crawling with women and plenty of guys there too. I can only say my experience was 1200 but not for the night.....a couple of hours and then she was back off there for another........it's their job I guess. They're not your girl friend, they're there to work. Looking at some of the guys in that place I feel sorry for some of them even. I was told they have to pay some of ther earnings over to somebody so they don't earn all that you give them.... My woman was Vietnamese, working a few weeks to get some money together for home.

Hi guys, during weekdays you can pick up a girl here at 2 AM for RMB 600 and have her stay all night; believe me!
JV (Wednesday, 09 May 2012 02:10)
That is the only time where the girl left me after 1 time. This was the only time where I paid i,ooo the other girls I paid 1,200 to 1,500 and they all stayed. One girl actually I had to tell her to leave because it was time to check out and we we're together for 11 hours. Some very good girls there just teat them right.
Odyssey (Wednesday, 09 May 2012 00:58)
It depends which kind of girl you decide to pick up. I found some semi professional girl, Chinese or Vietnamese, and they didn't care about stay all night or more in my house. one of them came to my place after lunch and stayed whith me untill midnight, for just 1000, and she was crazy about sex.
I d like try some Japanese or Korean girl, does everyone know some place in the city to meet them?
Just visiting (Wednesday, 09 May 2012 00:18)
JV. Exactly the same happen to me couple months ago. I said all night and then after about 1 hour 1 shot she says going back to bar for another customer and i paid 1000rmb.The only thing you can do is maybe pay her half and tell her why.There is nothing at all by law she can do to get the money off you unless she sends some big pimps around which most of those girls wont have. Your not alone this happens to many guys as well. The longest i have had a girl stay is 4 hours but i have only ever had 3 girls in total from this bar. So my thinking is take a girl home late around 4am and when she is finished she wont get time to go back and get another customer therefore possiblly she may stay.But who knows she may then say going home now to sleep after 1 shot.Dont think there is a correct answer for your question.In saying this i think it really depends on the girl if she likes you,what kind of mood she is in.Also maybe a non professional is more likely to stay all night as well.Does anyone have a better answer ?
JV (Tuesday, 08 May 2012 01:51)
I met and paid girl 1,000 for all night.After 1 time she said she was leaving and returning to the bar.What are you suppose to do. She from Vietnam. Bigger chest and a bit older so watch out for her.I had made it perfectly clear I wanted all night. All the other girls have been great.

Hello Guys
Will be soon in shanghai and I have 2-3 questions.
Can I arrive at 2am and find a lot of nice girls in Manhattan at this time ?
Second question : do you know an hotel closed this place who accept girls ? I remember an hotel just in front of Manhattan but I don't know if I can stay there 2 nights and invite girls.
Last question : someone interested for a crazy night with 3-4 girls and another man with me ? :)
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Monday, 23 April 2012 14:02)
@MrHappyCat: what you are looking for is common for the most girls here, but there is no guarantee. some will ask for covered fun, so better ask her before you go out together, if you want to be sure.
MrHappyKat (Saturday, 21 April 2012 06:39)
Is it common for girls to do blowjob without condom (BBBJ)? If not, can you pay a bit extra to get this service?
Thanks.

I was there Saturday and Sunday. No problems. I paid 1,500 RMB I didn't negotiate. One night with Chinese girl, next night with girl from Vietnam. Vietnam girl needed to be back sooner but it was ok by me.Chinese girl stayed about 9-10 hours.

@Just visiting, sometimes they ask girls to leave if they are not liked by the manager or if there is "more to the story". There are some girls that are always asked to leave unless it ir really busy, there are others that can come and go as they please. Just the way it is.
Just visiting (Tuesday, 10 April 2012 10:01)
The prices will be about the same on a Sunday night or a little better because of less customers?
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Monday, 09 April 2012 11:17)
Sunday night will be a little bit less crowdy, but still a lot of people (especially girls) there. So no need to worry.

Whats the action like at Manhattan Bar on Sunday nights?
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Monday, 09 April 2012 00:36)
@Alex: There is a second bar opposite side of hilton hotel, but here you will not find any girls. The right adress you will find above.

Read a few blogs, mostly said Vietnamese gals r much more prettier? Is it easy to look for those girlfriend type? Kindly advice. thks
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Tuesday, 03 April 2012 00:13)
@Just Visiting: We never ever heard about a foreigner was asked to leave, and normaly they also don`t care, if the girls order drink or not (because they will be invited by customers soon), so no idea why they have been send away.
Just visiting (Monday, 02 April 2012 08:14)
Question anybody. At around 1 am i saw 1 night management of this bar ask 2 girls to leave the bar. I dont know what the girls did if anything. Is this because they dont buy any drinks ?
Will they ever ask a foreigner to leave ?

jquery: Hello,
The exact same thing happened to me three weeks ago in manhattan bar.
I started chatting with a vietnamese beauty and she invited me to go back to her place.
When I asked the price she also said it was up to me! I was totally smashed at the time but I accepted anyway. [could have been a trap]
Ended up paying her 800 for the whole night, well I say for the night but it was 4am when we left the place and 4:20 by the time we arrived at her place. Decent sized room and quite luxury. It was GF experience all the way and service was really good. Stayed until 1pm the next day. She even offered to cook me a nice meal before I left, but that felt wierd and I kindly rejected.
There's definitely some bargains to be had at Manahttan bar.
Chris from NY (Thursday, 22 March 2012 17:59)
Great place
A LOT to chose from at reasonable prices. Ended up picking two hotties from Vietnam for 2500 for the night and we ended up spending the night and next day together. Those girls were completely wild. Wish there was a place like this in Beijing. Club chocolate is the closest but choice is not as extensive. You have to go there.
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Thursday, 22 March 2012 01:29)
The girls will not ask for payment in the bar. When you arrive at your place, they will ask for prepay. Some guys prefer to pay half / half, others pay in advanced, other prefer to pay before she leave. If you pay in advanced, you have a risk, that she will leave much more early than agreed before, but if you don`t pay in advance, you have to negotiate very hard and it is not easy to get a good girl friend atmosphere after that. But in Manhattan no I ever met asked for payment in the Bar, so this should be no problem.
Michael (Wednesday, 21 March 2012 23:13)
Can somebody tell me how payment works at Manhattan.
If i make agreement with a girl to go to my hotel for complete night.
Do i pay at Manhattan. Or will the girls normally accept that i pay her when we get to the hotel or how? And do i pay some money in the evening and the rest when she leaves in the morning
I ask because i have read that SNG users have been cheated on another shanghai pick bar where they have paid the girl and thereafter the girl went away with the money and did not return.
jquery (Monday, 12 March 2012 00:52)
Hi, I was there 3 month ago and picked up a very sexy vietnamese girl with incredible beautiful boobs. She was very GFE with me, we spent the whole night and more together. And for the fee, she said it was up to me ... very rare!
Nice place if you want to pick up girls, but it seems more vietnamese/filipino/thai girls than Chinese.
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Sunday, 11 March 2012 22:25)
@Paul: if you find the right girl, than should be possible. the "more professionals" will not waste their time with that, but if you find a more "innocent" one, she would be happy to party with you, but not easy to find.
Paul (Sunday, 11 March 2012 10:46)
Hi - thanks for all the good advice. Came to shanghai last month and to Manhattan and had a "great" time.
I love the sexy flirting while they try to pick you up. One thing I would like to know is, if I am paying for an all-night more girl-fried experience, it is possible to go out dancing with them first before heading back for "fun". If not, is there another place or better way to find this?
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Saturday, 10 March 2012 12:55)
hi paul, price depends on negotiation skills and on individuell girls. if the girl like you, you can get overnight for 1000 without problems, if she is greedy you also can pay 2000 for short time. all depends on negotiation, competition and mood of the girl. generally, the chinese girls ask for more, the viet and phil girls are in the same range. for the time it depends, what you prefer. As earlier, as more selection, but also higher price and big risk, the girl want to stay short and come back for a second business. as later, as lower price, but also lower selection. But I would prefer to come around midnight, because some girls also show up later, so this time should be best choice.
paul (Saturday, 10 March 2012 10:04)
Great info, but some confusing advice on pricing
Can you summarize what should be "normal range" to pay for
-weeknights for 1-2 hours
-weeknights for all night
-weekends for 1-2 hours
-weekends for all night
Also,
-Is this different for chinese vs vietnamese/philipino girls?
-What is the best time of the night to find the balance between good selection and willingness to accept "good" offer and go home
thanks

I visited here on 25th,29th feb and 1st and 2nd march.The bar seems to always have plenty of girls here. There were so many girls from vietnam. So many choices too. Its just heaven.Also couple of Ladyboys if you are that inclined.
Anyway manhatten is simple dont get to drunk and talk to several girls until you find the 1 you like.Make sure you think with your big brain not the brain behind your zipper. I found the pricing they always start high and generally will accept 1000rmb. No need to pay anymore. The price i found is for one shot only and even though 1 girl said to me it is for all night she lied later and said i have to pay total 1500rmb for all night.Some girls also go back for second customer.
Shanghai Nightlife Guide (Monday, 05 March 2012 18:17)
most girls there are viet or thai girls on "working holiday" and they live together with a lot of other girls in small appartments, so you have to be very lucky to find a girl that live alone and can take you to her home. Better way could be to book a cheap chinese hotel for RMB 300 to RMB 500 and take her to this hotel.
Hi (Monday, 05 March 2012 14:16)
Is it possible to go to their home? Because i am not living alone.

Michael now im no expert and i have only been twice to zappatas 14 months ago and im back again for more fun.I paid 1000rmb and i left around 2am last time.She stayed till 6am as she says she must get back home to the agents rented place where she stays so she can pay her agent at that time so dont know if true or not about what she said. She was philipino on a 3 month visa and a really nice girl 31. Did get another offer for 800rmb but worth paying the extra 200rmb as better quality and philipinoes speak english. Now turning up at 8- 9pm at manhattans i have visited before and yes many more girls.i dont like your chances of getting anyone for 600rmb though at that time for all night..... but yes maybe for an hour and also most girls rock up at around 10.30pm or bit after.i think it depends on the night.Example if there are heaps of girls and not many guys then the girls are going to drop there price and if the girl is smoking hot then she knows she can charge higher price. I took the same girl home twice in a row.I filtered them throgh until i found a nice quiet girl and thats what i got.i just pay the 1000rmb but no more than that. Watch out for tall girls with husky voice he he. Also im weary of all girls on the streets and i will only go to a pickup bar. I think all other bars are too expensive like lady bar.Have fun
Michael (Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:43)
To: John John or others.
600 RMB will this be 1 hour or one night?
I want to pick up a girl for the night. But if i get there early like 8 or 9pm. Will the girl be picked up for the night allready at this time?
Or will they go home for 1-2 hour and what price shall i pay for the vietnamese/philipina girls at this time?
thanx
John John (Monday, 20 February 2012 04:53)
If you want to meet part-time/freelance girl go there on weekend. Fridays and Saturdays I have seen chinese girls who are not regular at Manhattan.
Vietnamese girls are there every night, propably some of them are less experienced than others. Those who are new in business are gaining experience fast though.
If you want to have sex with very good looking vietnamese girl you need to go there Sun-Wed and 600 RMB should be enough. Weekends best looking girls are working all the time, so you don't see them so much at the bar. They are also asking more money, because demand is higher.
peter (Sunday, 19 February 2012 20:50)
thanks for suggestions to Netterman. Can you tell more on the inexperienced/parttime girls? I like be out and open/sexy before having more fun. What is best way to explain that, or is it even possible?
Finally, how much should a good "all night" experience be?
