Over the last few weeks, the Shanghai Daily's After Dark department has covered some of the city's best known bars - the Blarney Stone, Sasha's and Cotton's mark two. This week, to begin 2006, we take a look at one of the many smaller, slightly out-of-the-way bars that pepper Shanghai and are a treat to stumble upon.
