Oil

Chinese name: 油 Yóu

Quite possibly the best underground club in China, Oil is a compact, sweaty chapel to electronic beats, the darker and more esoteric the better. An adjoining cocktail bar (open 8pm-late) provides the perfect prelude to Oil's weekend parties, which have been known to keep raging until 7 a.m.

Check its socials for upcoming events. With a progressive music policy that draws cutting-edge underground DJs from China and around the world, Oil is an icon in the making, and the equal to anywhere in Beijing or Shanghai.
