Perched on the top of a historic building on the South Bund, Zeal is the new nightlife hotspot on the Shanghai waterfront, featuring a 350-square-meter outdoor terrace and a sleek indoor area for drinking and partying.

Dotted with palm trees and shrubs, the U-shaped terrace at Zeal offers a panoramic view of both sides of the Huangpu River. Order a bottle of Moet & Chandon (980rmb) here, sink into the sofa and relax with your friends. If you're more of a dance machine, the indoor space is equipped everything you need - cool lighting, wall-sized video screen, DJs dropping house and electro, and enough space to dance.

Signature cocktails include the Malibu Smoothie (80rmb), the Szechuan Tease (80rmb) and the Fresh Hulk Martini (80rmb).
