Jax Pub
Italy Bar
Only Pub
Situated on the busiest bar street with well over 20 bars, Only Pub is run by a tight group of young fun loving people. A simple bar with little choice but a sound start for a good night out
Black King
The first of many bars on Beilun's main bar street.
Badi
Skyey Pub
Uno Bar
A tiny little bar, in fact the only foreigners bar in Yuyao, run by a German guy and his Philippine helpers who will rustle up some food for you if you call ahead. An ideal place to stop on the way home if you've been busy buying plastics all day in Yuyao.
Marco Polo
Located in the outer district of Beilun Marco Polo offers a friendly talking bar where foreign guys and local girls talk the night away.
The Hemingway
Small but nice and right next door to the Marco Polo.

Bars
Le Cargo
Late night pick up joint complete with bar brawls and police raids. Standard disco music to get the local girls and students strutting there stuff. Small yet cram packed at the weekends.
Legends Bar
One of the infamous girlie talking bars where unsuspecting tourists or business men buy rounds of drinks for the girls with the expectation of a little more change at the end of the night than they actually get. Do not run a tab and pay for the drinks as you get them. Experience the most stinky bathroom in Ningbo.
Z Rocks
Getting a drink is not easy as the bar staff do not speak one word of English, terrible Chinese band tries there best, often empty. right

Bourbon Street
Latin music bar with live band that starts at 9:30PM. Recently redecorated and rewired to give a superb Latin sound and feel.
Shamrock Irish Pub
A typical Irish bar, with Guinness and a friendly bunch of visitors.
Shooters Bar
cool decoration with hand painted pictures on the walls and Chinese style stool based seating. The bar is of a medium to large size and has great and pretty staff. you go there for the shots and the staff and location.
Bass Clef Bar
One of the better bars in Lao Waitan, a small intimate bar that is well lit with a mini stage for live music.
Nancy's Bar
A whole evening wrapped into one with Thai food being served upstairs and a full bar downstairs, you can enjoy a few drinks whilst waiting for a table or enjoy a few Thai snacks at the bar over a cold beer.
Barfly
The young and beautiful with stacks of cash flock to this bar. Great shows here. But expensive.
Harley Bar
Has a great feeling about the place, pool table, decent food, live music, clean American style bar. nice but always empty
The Garden
A great place when the weather is not too hot and not too cold, outdoor seating next to the river with super cheap drinks and student music makes this the choice place for students and those on an extreme budget.
Beer at cheaper restaurants is quite weak and bland, and often not very cold. Foreign and more expensive Chinese restaurants have export-quality Tsingdao and European or Japanese beers.
All over Ningbo many bars often have happy hour specials with buy-one-get-one until 8PM or buy-two-get-one after 8PM on select beers, just ask before you order. In the Lao Wai Tan area there are many bars yet there always empty and over priced as the competition is fierce. Home to Le Cargo the late night sleazy disco that normally end up in a fight and the police being called.
There are a few bars by the side of the Sheraton attract the new business men in town who like to rub shoulders and tell each other the stories they've read in the china guide books, or start offering each other shares in an idea! before running back to safety of there hotels. You will also find some foreign students trying to cross over into business around here too.
Business men at one time or another will trade from the outer district of Beilun. Many bars have been springing up to cater to them before they make the short trip back to downtown, alternatively next to every bar area you can find a cheap hotel if you dont have a driver and fancy a few more drinks.
If your staying in a hotel get a business card or two before leaving the hotel so you can always get a taxi home by showing the card to your driver no matter how late it is!
