Bars and Clubs in Guangzhou
23 Club
Metallic seating, leather sofas, laser lights and loud American country music make for a peculiar ambience, as businessmen chat with each other oblivious to their surroundings – at least until the nightly dance show kicks off at 10.30pm. Daily 8pm-3am.. No cards.. 1/F, Guangdong IEC Tower, 403 Huanshi Dong Lu. (8732 3487)
2nd Floor Club
One of the few clubs where cleverly conceptualised, individually unique KTV rooms actually justify the heady price. McCallan’s RMB 980. Unfortunately nothing’s happening in the adjacent bar, perhaps due to the so-so cocktails at RMB 45. Daily 8pm-2am.. Local cards.. 2/F Jian Li Bao Plaza, 410 Dongfeng Zhong Lu. (8348 6792, 8348 6592)
50 Cent
50 Cent would give this place no love for two reasons: It’s lacking in young females and all the males are belting some of the worst mating calls-cum-karaoke north of the Garden Hotel. Buy one Kampai (RMB 45), get one free. Daily 8pm-6am.. No cards. 228 Hengfu Lu. (8358 3328)
88 Cafe and Club
Inspired by the Philippines, this classy bar includes a relaxing mock-European lodge upstairs with a more Eastern interpretation of Western luxury downstairs in the form of white russians laced with whipped cream (RMB 40). Daily 1-6pm, 7pm-2am.. Local cards.. Overseas Chinese Village, 5 Heping Lu. (8359 4437, 8359 8367)
Africa Bar
Each night, African DJs pirate Caribbean beats shadowed by fluorescent tribal paintings, black lighting and Bob Marley. A popular place to dance (or hide). Draught beer RMB 20. Daily 7pm-2am.. Local cards.. 2/F, Zi Dong Hua Bldg, 707 Dongfeng Dong Lu. (8762 3336, 8776 0543)
Amigo
If tequila makes you happy¡¬ go somewhere else. No points for Latino feel but a few for friendliness. Lively band plays music as patrons watch the riverside-girls (and guys) go by. Beers RMB 150/dozen, JD RMB 35. Daily 6pm-2am.. Local cards.. B03, Bai E Tan Lu, Fangcun District. (8155 8173)
B Boss
It’s definitely not the ‘French’ dancers or the unremarkable decor that keep this cabaret-style bar bustling nightly. Must be the band. Daily 8pm till late.. No cards.. 5/F, Ocean Commercial Plaza, 414-416 Huanshi Dong Lu. (8769 5717)
Baby Face
Don’t believe the hype. While this small, overcrowded disco is often full of fashionable debutantes, it’s mostly flash with little substance. Forget weekend nights as its “members only” policy is strictly enforced. Beer RMB 40. Daily 8pm-2am.. No cards.. 83 Changdi Da Ma Lu. (8335 5771)
