Before you go
Which Shanghai clubs are free on Fridays?
La Barra (free 22:00–00:00), Le Baron (free 22:30–00:00), Candyshop (free 22:30–00:00), Leo Roof Bar (free 21:30–23:45). Each window is when the list lets you in free.
How does free entry work?
On some nights a club lets people in free if they arrive inside a window. Sign up for that night on THE LIST SH (the WeChat mini-app) with the code GL2NITE, then arrive before free entry ends.
What time should I get there on a Friday?
Nights start late here. Doors open around 22:00 and free entry usually ends around midnight, so arrive in time. Free entry ends at the time shown, or when the list is full, whichever comes first.
What should I bring?
Bring ID that matches the name you signed up with. A phone with WeChat Pay or Alipay set up, some cash, and whatever the club's dress code asks for (it's on the club page where we have it).
