Downstairs by David Laris, a stylish dining/lounge area on the first floor of Urbn Hotel, is a good go-to place for a cup of coffee if I’m in the area. A cool oasis away from the Jing’an traffic, this place is perfect for a casual afternoon gathering or after work drinks. Take advantage of their drinks specials after 5pm on Thursdays (35 RMB martinis), Fridays (25 RMB beer), and Sundays (25 RMB frozen margaritas). Call to double check on the deals before you head over.
