Bars & Nightlife

[TomC]

Hi All,

I'm from Los Angeles, California and I'm going to Hefei for a couple of days for a business trip and I'm looking for something to do I guess at night.  Any good bars or restaurants?  Preferably where I can get by with English.   Can't speak Chinese 

[TomC]

Actually I'm landing in Beijing on March 2nd,2008 and leaving for Hefei March 3rd.   Then back to Beijing on the 5th.  Not too much time..

Well I have to say its all fascinating.... all these places with obviiously reasonable reputations.  But its no good just naming these places, for new people or people with little knowledge of the area, directions would be great.  I come to this site because I hope it can help me find new places to frequent rather than go through all the rigmarole of trial and error.  Please please anyone that can provide directions to these venues... it would be greatly appreciated

Not long in Hefei, here for a long time and looking for pleasant places to spend time, play card and drink beer (cold beer!)

Heard Revolutionary mentioned many times but cannot find any listing for it, would love to visit.

[Candy-lover]

yes, Revolutionary Bar is fascinating to me, especially the Band there, i think you may have try to visit there and enjoy yourself.

Tell the taxi to take you to "Dao Xiang Lou" - you should try and jump out before you are taken away up the hill to the hotel, it is on the main road between the Bank & fancy restaurant  (Jin Man Lou).

The sign vanished a long time ago...  but you should see a dark alley with some grafitti next to the fag shop 

[Aussie Mike]

It's behind but right around the back to the extreme side of the China Eastern Airlines building in JinZhai Lu.

finally a good explanation about some place in Hefei..
Mike, you're the most expert.. you should write a mini guide how to find these places too.. not only names..
that would make taxi driver would just laugh at you ;-)

so, when are you at Revulotionary usually?
which are the good days, only fri-sat?
is there any funny girl's day? (i'm a dude.. but girl's days are always th ebest.. for dudes)

:-)

I'm actually planning a Foreign Visitor's Map.

The existing Tourist map which is available in hotels for 20 Rmb is from 2004.
It was accurate when I arrived. 

I'd like to prepare an updated one with landmarks and places of interest with an accompanying booklet guide.

[Andy72]

One last add:
Morgan's at the cross Suzhou Lu with Shouchun Lu

Maybe not al the foreigners will agree with me, but I know a couple that do agree: a really cool place! ;-)

We have been there watching some football lately..

Aha! I know why you like the place very much.... It's too obvious after looking your Flikr postings.... 

I agree with you 200%.

What's good to see and to do in there aside from the obvious ones?
