The night

Hanging-jungle ceiling · Two stages · Vinyl room

One Night in Ibiza turns the jungle room into a Balearic sunset. Tom William, Cedar, Wilson and Costin run the main stage, Flo plays records on the vinyl stage, and the whole place feels like the last night of a holiday you don't want to end.

Sign up on our WeChat mini-app with the code GL2NITE and you get in free between 22:00 and midnight. Bring ID that matches the name you signed up with. Champagne tables are open if you want your own spot for the night.

The room

A ceiling of hanging palms over a packed dancefloor, a DJ booth you can practically reach over, and a crowd that came dressed for it. Champagne goes round the tables all night, and there's a second, smaller vinyl stage for when you need a breather that still has a beat.

Getting in

The club's rules, so you know before you go.

  • Sign up first. Open the THELISTSH mini-app in WeChat, sign up for the night with the code GL2NITE and your name goes on the list. Spots are limited.
  • Whatever the night is giving away comes with it: welcome shots, drink deals, whatever is on. It's listed on the night.
  • Bring ID — passport for foreigners, 身份证 for Chinese nationals. The name on it is the only name that matters.
  • Arrive inside the window. Outside it, the club's normal door applies.
  • Dress code is the club's: smart-casual, no sportswear or flip-flops. The venue keeps the right of admission.
  • With a group, or arriving late? A table is held under your name whatever the door is doing.

Getting there

Show your driver the Chinese address.
