Wenzhou

.99

Huge club/bar with a wooden palatial decor that boggles the mind. Prices can also boggle the mind.

1682

This bar/club is sometimes very popular for its lounge layout, a little open space for dancing, and music.

419 Bar

Quiet tea house and bar that also plays host to a popular English Corner (Thursday nights 7PM), even if foreigners are rare in attending. If you go, you will have insta-friends.

Blue Moon Bar

Great little foreigner friendly bar with a cozy feel to it. Customer controlled music playlist (just choose your song from the communal computer and double click!). ¥10 bottles of Qingdao. Also has burgers, fries and other Western food items.

Blue Shell

The longtime foreign owner of Blue Shell has sold this bar to a local lady. It's still open, and John's still the bartender. Western style toilet on second floor.

Bund 18

外滩十八号; Wàitānshíbāhào

It offers free alcohol to foreigners who know the right people. Look for other foreigners once you are inside and join them. Normally kicks off around 10PM.

Cowboy Bar 1

Eric's No. 1

The original home of the Taiwanese Cowboy, expect rowdy Chinese, migrant worker bar staff, and a wild time, especially if Eric hands you a free bottle of Tequila.

Cowboy Bar 3

Eric's No. 3

Different from 1 & 2 in that No. 3 is a little quieter, as befits Shuomen Street. The bar area is more comfortable and a back area includes a small indoor stream. Serves Chinese food and steak.

European City

Ou Zhou Cheng

La Luna (Yong nan lu and Jiang bin xi lu) has the best burgers and french fries in Wenzhou. It has a foreign menu including nachos! It also has English-speaking staff. A favorite of the foreign community. Occasional karaoke or live music. Opens at 20:00. La Luna offers a foreign teacher discount card, so bring copy of contract or foreign expert papers. Discount is 50% off drinks and well worth the fee to obtain discount card (which may cost ¥100). Odessa (center of city, downstairs by the bowling alley) has two parts, the restaurant (with foreign menu) and the bar. Foreigner-owned and friendly. Has golf and is beside the archery, billiards, and bowling places.

Hello K.T.

A friendly bar with a barman/manager who can speak English, juggle bottles and eat fire (apparently the 2nd best barman in China, with a certificate to prove it). Upstairs is the Drunkards' Pool, a pool table so wonky you will not even need a drink to see strange things happen on it.

Evening until the patrons leave

L.V.

Very popular Chinese bar for DJs and live music. A mug of beer will cost you ¥25, so not too pricey, and there's plenty of people to dance with.

Luna Bar

露娜酒吧

Not to be confused with La Luna near European City, this Chinese bar was renovated and often has live music.

My Bar

Dark and quiet but with a large group of friends (10+) you can take over the bar and make it your own (should be called Your Bar). The long-haired barman (his name is DaTou, big head) has an intriguing taste in music. Drink prices are really good since they always offer buy 1 get 1 free! Always happy hour which actually makes this one of the cheapest places in town. Great music! There is also a movie room on the top floor with thousands of DVD's. Get some of their delicious coffee in the afternoon and watch a good movie by your choice on the 200" screen on the wall.

My Friend Bar

Small bar with a very Chinese flavor, now has an open front. Staff and patrons known to be friendly to foreigners.

POP

温州POP酒吧; Wēnzhōu POP Jiǔbā

Once the home to foreign dancers, now just a place where you can drink, dance, play dice.

Stephanos

Italian bar in the place of New Age Lounge, great open space. Western style toilet.

U-Party

Large, established club with banging DJs and dancers. Not as pricey or oppressive as.99, a big group of friends could probably chip in to make the evening cost effective with a Whiskey/Ice Tea Combo.
