Zuo Bar / 座吧

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.

Jimmy's Sports Bar & Restaurant / 吉米来吧

Jimmy's Sports Bar & Restaurant / 吉米来吧

This is an authentic American bar & restaurant, one of Nanjing expat favourites. They serve all western-style specialities one can possibly crave when feeling homesick: burgers, BBQ and pizza, along with a selection of imported and draft beers. Staff speak English.

Mandu / 曼度

Mandu / 曼度

Situated just outside the 1912 Block, Mandu is one of the best and the most popular nightclubs in Nanjing. It has great DJ sets and street dance performances, and the occasional theme nights. The entrance fee can be a little expensive, but a great vibe is guaranteed.
