Captain Bar, Rooftop bar in Shanghai, China.

Description

Captain Bar is a rooftop terrace overlooking Shanghai's skyline where cocktails and light food are served to guests. The space combines outdoor and indoor areas that adapt to changing weather conditions.

History

This rooftop began as part of a hostel and later became a standalone bar. Modern design elements were added while keeping the building's original framework.

Culture

The rooftop draws a mix of visitors, professionals, and locals who gather as evening falls to take in the city views together. Meeting here has become part of how people experience Shanghai's nightlife.

Practical

This rooftop is easy to reach by public transport and welcomes visitors from afternoon into the early morning hours. There are smoking areas and both open and sheltered seating depending on weather.
