Where to Celebrate Australia Day in Shanghai

Happy Australia Day, Shanghai! If you’re Australian (or an admirer of) and stuck in town celebrating sans sun and surf, here are a couple of places where you can don your green and gold today.

After you’ve spent the morning streaming Triple J’s countdown of the Hottest 100, head along to The Shed. They’re hosting a bender all afternoon with free-flow Australian beer, house pours and all-you-can-eat barbecue for just RMB250.

Kakadu is hosting a barbie with RMB150 all-you-can-eat barbecue (includes one free drink). The bash starts at 6pm and finishes at 9pm.

Sasha’s is throwing a big Australia Day party which doesn’t look too shabby. They’ll be running games of Two-up all day and serving up fresh meat pies and sausage rolls. They’ve also got 50 percent off all Australian beers.

Not Me is getting into the Aussie spirit on Friday night and offering an RMB80 open bar. Check out all the details and their terrible use of Australian slang right here.

Surprisingly enough, The Camel hasn’t committed to celebrating Australia Day. No drink deals, no use Australian colloquialisms- nothing! We suggest that you storm the sports bar in your green and gold and start a riot. Tell them City Weekend sent you.

And if you’re stuck at work for some reason and can’t celebrate today, fear not! It looks like AustCham screwed up the dates and are hosting their annual Australia Day BBQ on Feb. 12.
