Bars & NightlifeGuide was updated: 15. listopadu 2024

For a taste of Nanjing's vibrant nightlife, head to the 1912 leisure and entertainment area, where traditional architecture meets modern delights. The exterior is a collection of grey bricked buildings, simply styled balconies, floral-carved windows, and pinnacle tops, iconic of old China. Yet its soul is composed of world-branded coffee shops such as Starbucks, the Coffee Beanery, Japanese and Korean restaurants, famous Asian spas, and beauty salons. Open around the clock, it should definitely be a stop on a night owl's itinerary in Nanjing.

Finnegan's Wake Irish Pub / 芬尼根酒吧

Named after the legendary book by the Irish writer James Joyce, this might just be the most authentic Irish bar in Nanjing. You can have many choices of European beers that are relatively hard to find in China, as well as some typical European food such as lasagna and tuna sandwiches. Staff can speak English, some are native speakers.

Zuo Bar / 座吧

Zuo Bar is a hidden Japanese bar in the 1912 Block run by a Japanese owner. The bar is not big, yet quiet, warm and cosy, and makes one feel at ease, much like being at a friend's home. Walls are adorned with vintage Japanese posters, which create an ambience of an Izakaya. Tell the bartender more about your tastes and let him surprise you with an improvised cocktail, all but guaranteed not to let you down.
