Pretty good recommendations! My best mate's Dad is one of the majority shareholders in M1NT and we go there from time to time, going there on Saturday for dinner/cocktails and then have a table/bottles afterwards, super ballerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (its my friend's birthday so his Dad is picking up the bill, I'd go busto pretty quickly otherwise!)
C's can be a pretty fun place if you go with a decent crowd, you know what you're getting with a dive bar.
Other recommendations would be Geisha/Apartment/Zeal, they can all be pretty pricey, good drinks though and all of them packed with foreigners if that's what you're looking for. Best "Chinese" club is probably 88, has a really funky layout and is a cool change of scene.
If you're looking for a pub, the best in Shanghai right now has to be "The Camel" on Yueyang Lu, great atmosphere/decor, good food/drinks specials and has tons of sport coverage (ranging from premier league/NFL/NHL, ncaa games etc). They also have a quiz night every Tuesday which I go to with friends that is free to enter and they do 2 for 1 pizza's/pastas/drinks.
Any other Shanghai questions feel free to ask.
