Knight Leader has maybe the best location and setup of any bar in Shenyang. It’s one of the only bars in Shenyang with outdoor seating and a large patio area. The patio borders Zhongshan Park, and there are no neighbors, so it’s free to play music outdoors at night. The decoration inside the bar is American Wild West themed with Indian headdresses, cowboy hats, etc. adorning the walls, and saddle-style bar stools. Drinks are fairly cheap, there’s a pool table, and there are two levels with plenty of seating.  Despite its uniqueness however, Knight Leader has never really gained the popularity that it deserves.  There’s usually a handful of customers, but sometimes it sits nearly empty, especially M-Th. 

Location: On Nanjing Jie （南京街）right at the West Gate of Zhongshan Park (中山公园西门)。 Ask a taxi driver for “zhōngshān gōngyuán xīmén”. 

 

 

This club has been in Shenyang for quite some time, but has changed ownership and names repeatedly.  Formerly known as Baby Face, and Angel Club, it’s now call A+. The club is not very big, and the facilities are a bit old and rundown. Nevertheless, if you go with a group of friends it can be a fun time. It’s often less crowded than the bigger newer clubs, and the drinks are slightly cheaper (beers from 25 yuan), and you may actually get better service because it’s not so crowded. Late at night the club’s sanitation leaves something to be desired, i.e. sticky tables and floor, dirty toilets. 

Location: On Nan Jing Jie (南京街) at the northwest corner of Zhong Shan Park. Ask a taxi driver for “A jiā jiǔbā”.

Note: The area around Zhong Shan Square is becoming one of the best areas to go bar hopping as Hottown Club, Kiss Club, Club 97, West Beer Town, A+ Club, and Knight Leader Bar are all within walking distance of each other. 

Located on the first floor of the ritzy Kempinski Hotel, this bar and grill is one of the more upscale places in Shenyang. Catering largely to foreign business people staying in the hotel, the prices for both food and drinks are considerably higher than most places in Shenyang. Though the prices are high, the food and drinks are excellent. Dinner selections include steak and sausages, and they have German Paulaner beer on tap. There are Filipina singers/dancers performing English songs every night. 

  

Check in for parties and dinner/drink specials for special occasions, including Oktoberfest, World Cup, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, etc. 

Liter of Paulaner beer: 65 yuan

Local beers: around 35 yuan

Steak Dinner: At least 100 yuan

   

Location: On the corner of Qing Nian Da Jie (青年大街) and Xi Bin He Lu (西滨河路), kitty corner from the TV Tower. Ask a taxi driver for kāi bīn sī jī jiǔdiàn. You can enter through the hotel, or there is a side-door on the north side of the bulding.
