Post subject: Best KTV in Shanghai?

In your opinion what's the best KTV (hottest/most fun girls) with English songs newer than 1963?

Party World - Wulumuqi Road - has plenty English songs.
But, its expensive..................

If you are in Hong Qiao then the Haoledi in Brilliance Shopping centre is much less expensive.

Not sure about the girls though - I think you need to go to the seedier KTV's to see them up front - otherwise I think you need to enquire at the desk Embarassed

I vote for Party World, either Wulumuqi Lu or Fuxing Park...assumed you are planning to sing ?! They have post Sinatra era songs aplenty.

Paradise is by far the nicest I've seen. The best way to go is with 5 or 6 Chinese Guys who speak english and ask for girls that can speak some English. I go once a month with four Chinese guys, all married and all professionals. Its the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. These guys enjoy the singing the drinking the dice gsmes.

it's the saying if you have to ask you can't afford it.

I'm not sure what it cost. I go with 5 people most of the time. We are there from about 9 or 9:30 till 1 am. we drink maybe 4 bottles of Chivas Regal and I think tab is about $300 (my partner always pays) You can tip the girl whatever you want. If you take her home it cost $250..usd's(that my partner does not pay)

I think the key is to be with some people you really like. It's a fun night with a lot of drinking games and singing. Its very relaxing. I am convinced its the people I'm with that make it so much fun.

I have gone to KTV places in New York with my GF and her friends.(they all sing in a choir.) It's ok but it's not the Paradise Club.

A room, + 5 girls, + 4 bottles of Chivas is going to be at least RMB 5000 at a decent ktv.

I checked with my partner it cost about $500 when we go to paradise maybe a little more.

He said the girls (for singing) cost 300 rmb's

It was better when I didn't know what it cost.

5 guys and 5 girls would be a 10person room. there is a minimum charge in places like paradise or jinbi. for a room of that size its about cny5000-6000. so there is no way it was that little at usd500. unless you are using some other spot rate.

and that minimum charge does not include the tips. its purely drinks and food.

No! I think you have to leave to have non singing activities. I don't think you can do anything at the club. It cost US $250 for the night at your place. They will stay for breakfast if you like.

I ask my partner the other day what it cost and he also wasn't sure. He goes everynight.

He thinks we pay for the room and drinks( you pay for drinks by the bottle) about US$300 and the girls cost 300 rmb per girl for the singing and dice games. Sometimes there are few extra girls. The Chinese men I go with are really into the singing and the games and the drinking
there is a lot of GumBay's and a lot of falling down.

Once again whatever it cost, its not a good place to go if you are on a budget.

You pay for drinks by the bottle. I've never had much food. a lot of oranges cut up, and some watermelon, and some snacks.

Tips are Tips if you want to tip you can. but I don't think the Chinese men tip. they get charged 300 rmb's per woman.

It's half that and the woman are very beautiful. They are not your street hooker or call girl, or massage girl.

I think of them as Semi Pro's since they don't get to leave with anyone very often, and when they do it's up to them if they want to go.

tips refer to the cny300 which by the way has been raised to cny400 and cny500 in most clubs starting this year. u dont pay for drinks by the bottle. there is a minimum charge. a small room, enough to squeeze 3 person in, has a minimum charge of cny1300 while in paradise a room for 10person has a minimum charge of cny5000-6000. even if u were to drink 1 bottle, they will charge you cny5000-6000 as they need to make a minimum.

From my experience for a room of 4 guys:

Minimum room charge: Average - 1000rmb
Bottles of Whisky: 600rmb
Beer: 40rmb
Food dishes: 30rmb
Normal girls: 300rmb
Models: 500rmb (not really models, just tall)
"Special" girls: 500rmb (These are the ones that will supposedly go home with you for an extra charge.)
Dancing girls: 500rmb (These are basically strippers)
Mama-san: The same price as the girls.
Waiteress: 200rmb

I'm not a professiona KTVer but I've been enough to quote these prices.

Haha... I don't know why there is any appeal to the special KTV... When I go to KTV with my colleagues we get a room for 10 people at about 100rmb per hour, the beers are only 10rmb per beer. So for 10 people getting ridiculously drunk you are looking at 4 hours, maybe 80 beers (the small ones, the women don't drink so much) for a grand total of about 1300rmb for 10 people for 4 hours. Pretty good deal I think... Plus free food.

I just don't know why people bother to pay for the girls that will sing with you and you pay for their drinks. Then have the "privilege" to take them home for 2000rmb after haha. God if you want to get laid just go to any bar in Shanghai and not be a complete tool. Well sorry, I guess that won't work for our fat and old readers who have to go to KTV to get laid hehe.

I would love to go to macau Smile

Can you play texas hold em at the casinos there? I always loved going to the casinos in Vegas for the $5/$10 tables, could earn your whole weekend of drinking and hotels playing one night at the casino. So easy to beat other people, just pure luck to beat the house.

The Paradise is a very nice place. very upscale.
I have never been in a small room so I don't know how small they are. The room we use is very big and very nice. We usally drink 4 or 5 bottles of Chivas. I am always with 4 or 5 Chinese men. I have been told, (only because I asked recently for this thread) That the cost is about $500 us'd plus 300 rmb's per girl. I don't know how the bill is broken down, and I don't know if Chinese are charged less then Foreigners. I know the men I go with, go several times a week, so I don't think they pay what Kumfast has to pay.
For me being with Chinese men makes it very enjoyable, I think laugh at them as much as I laugh with them.
