All the things you'd want to do this Monday to Thursday in Shanghai. On the schedule this week: Malaysian indie rock, Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit at Chinatown, Roots & Shoots events aplenty and of course - our awesome Shanghaiist Scrabble night! more ›

Hey guys! Looking for something to do? Come tonight to Cotton's Xinhua to play scrabble with us! The weather may be frightful, but inside Cotton's it's delightful! Plus, we'll be playing a newly compiled setlist of the best indie rock songs from 2010 (in case you wanted to check out The National or Titus Andronicus' new albums). more ›

It was a rainy night, unfortunately, but that didn't stop us Shanghaiist Scrabble fans from enjoying a cool game and a warm drink anyway. While the competition was lower than other nights, our winner didn't need the help anyway. After all, Sandy's won before... at our first scrabble night in fact! That makes her the only team/person to win twice! more ›

Okay, let's get a few things straight. We love happy hours: you love happy hours. We love Cotton's: you love Cotton's. We love Scrabble: you love Scrabble, but probably not as much as we do. If we're off on any of that, you can take it up with us tonight as we spend the evening combining all three at our very own Shanghaiist Scrabble @ Cotton's! more ›

As most of the Americans around town are well aware, it's Thanksgiving week! Warm up for the fun with another round of the Shanghaiist Scrabble Happy Hour on Tuesday, stuff your face silly on Thursday, then emerge from a tryptophan coma in time to help raise money for The Library Project. Whatever you do, enjoy the time with your friends and family! Love, your friends at Shanghaiist. more ›

Hey folks, remember our last Shanghaiist Scrabble night? You can win 250RMB of Cotton's vouchers and the title of Shanghaiist Scrabble champion if you come to the next one we're hosting: Tuesday, November 24th. Pit your vocab and scrabble strategy against the drinks you'll be getting in order to compete. It'll be a cold night, but with the copious amounts of alcohol and Cotton's warm fireplace (with real fire!), you'll be sure to feel as cozy as possible on a Tuesday night. more ›

Hats off to Sandy from Sarnia for rocking the board all night despite your surprisingly limited amount of drinks. Your winning word "FOXIER" managed to garner you 48 points and delivered you to victory. You win a 250RMB Cotton's voucher to be used (hopefully!) at the next Shanghaiist Scrabble happy hour night. more ›
