While the narrow Eden might feel a lot more crowded than the original garden, the main events are made to blow your mind like a bite of the forbidden fruit.

With the same kind of tucked-away, speakeasy-style entrance,Eden has a similar air to its quieter Donghu Lu cousin.

Monkey Bar regulars looking for a late-night spot. High-spenders in-the-know. Shanghai’s media crowd. Former Volarists. Local celebrities seeking to drink in a little more privacy than that afforded by M1NT or Muse.

One subtle, but notable innovation the club has to offer is placing a VIP area directly behind the bar, making getting more drink-often the bane of a club-goer's evening- that much easier.
