Originally from New York, “Block Party” is the ultimate street take-over, where all neighbourhood residents congregate and celebrate together.  It's basically an excuse for the crowds to gather, to crank up the music and to party long and hard. 

789 Nanjing Lu Bar + Lounge exudes style along with just the right amount of flair, in order to create a pulsing and vibrant bar. Occupying all three floors, Block Party boasts uninterrupted views of the neon-bright city as the iconic colourful fireworks burst above Shanghai. Like any other Block Party, residents will discover their neighbourhood in a whole new light. Each floor will contain varying styles and themes to incorporate the true essence of a Block Party; all neighbourhood cultures coming together. House, Hip Hop and Latin often define the history of a New York style Block Party and each genre holds a heavy influence on the other. Block Party is representative of Shanghai today; a vibrant, multicultural hub.

One floor at 789 Nanjing Lu Bar + Lounge will play host to funky House tunes.  Imagine the ultimate clubbing experience and you're somewhere near. The DJ's passion for shuffling beats and sultry vocals makes for electro, progressive sounds that elevate the energy of the captivated crowd. Bursting with vitality, “Latin Sparks” on the second floor will bring the spicy flavours of South America, where music and dance means everything. Expect soulful sounds and a brimming dance floor of hot-footed salsa shakers. Finally, the finest Hip Hop DJ's in Shanghai will be holding down the wheels of steel with style and bold sounds. Diverse tunes will blast out as the ripple of the crowd grows to a frenzied bounce at the stroke of midnight. New Year's Eve will go off with a bang as video screens display the countdown and confetti canons are poised and ready to “pop” at 12! Plus, all lucky Block partiers will be receiving Wills' gym membership as a New Year gift.
