The motley pub crawl crew known as the Drunken Dragons are turning one year old today. Aside from all the regular stuff they do every Thursday (open bar and snacks for the first hour, shots at every bar, roaring around in their party bus with chaotic partiers), tonight's birthday revelry will include a cake, props, prizes and three new venues. Don't forget to wish them a Happy Birthday at the door either--you'll get a free t-shirt to go with your hangover. more ›

It may be so, at least between 2pm to 8pm on weekdays and 4pm to 8pm on weekends. Located on Hongmei Lu's Laowai Street, Shanghai Brewery has an almost mindbogglingly well-priced happy hour price - their homemade beers are just 28rmb for a big glass (and 20rmb for a smaller one). more ›

Shanghai loves it's ladies, that's for sure. In this town, members of the fairer sex can drink every night for free so easily. The only real problem: there's too many options when you're looking to have a fun night out with the girls. So in this series, we hit up all the 'ladies only' specials around town to rate them. That way you'll know which are worth a sip, and which you ought to skip. more ›

Here's another great excuse to stay out after work this Thursday night (the first being happy hour with Ed Wang). Vantage magazine's launch party at Glamour Bar will be providing free flow booze for two hours and sweet canapes -- sounds like a fantastic party to us! We hear that there will be dancers, special performances, and a lucky draw so bring your business card too. But if you wanna RSVP, you need to do that today. more ›

Suffering from Superbowl withdrawals? Yeah, thought so, but you can get back some of that American football fever at the Boxing Cat Brewery when Ed Wang, the first fully ethnic Chinese NFL player hosts happy hour drinks. more ›

From 6pm to 10pm, we'll be hoisting up our giant scrabble board and inviting everyone to engage in cunning word play. Rules rehash:
• Each Happy Hour drink gets you five tiles. You can wait until you've got a couple orders under your belt - heck, we're not putting a limit on how many tiles you can come up to the board with - but just know that someone might take that triple word score from you if you wait too long.
• We'll be using the SOWPODS dictionary. If you don't know what that means, don't worry too much about it.
• You can come up to the board as many times as you like between 6pm and 10pm. But you can't make words consecutively, you'll have to wait until at least one other person has tried first.

Hey y'all, another month has passed and it's almost time for the next Shanghaiist Scrabble Happy Hour! Same rules, same time, same deal, same everything, but in case you needed a rehash, here's how we play the game: more ›

Can you believe we've had three of these already? We barely can. Nor can we wrap our minds around the fact that this will be the last Shanghaiist Scrabble of the year... nay, the decade! So, if you happen to be around Shanghai tonight, come out and join us for a fun wintry Scrabble match. We've got warm drinks, good music, a sweet fireplace, and - of course - a way to exercise that big, big brain of yours one last time before you lose your mind for the end of 2009. more ›

Yes, there have been a couple hiccups with our original plans to have semi-monthly Shanghaiist Happy Hours, but with the weather cooling off into nice, comfortable weeknights, we're ready to get back on schedule. more ›
