Sophie's World Bar

       Until recently, this small laid-back pub was the most popular stop for many of Shenyang’s Westerners. Over the past couple years however, Sophie’s has lost some of its popularity, partially due to the addition of new bars around town.  Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a laid-back place to drink and hang out, Sophie’s is still a good bet. Drinks are cheap; the manager, Johnny, is kind and helpful; and Sophie’s is still one of the best known bars among Shenyang’s foreigners, so if you’re new in town it’s a good place to start out. 

        

        It’s worth noting that there often seems to be no rhyme or reason to Sophie’s busy hours.  The bar will sometimes be packed with people on a Tuesday night, but sit virtually empty on Saturday.
