Blue Sky is a popular pub & grub joint with the male expat crowd. Simple music such as “Barenaked Ladies” is played while ESPN dominates the TV.
 
Beer starts at 15 yuan for a small bottle of Qingdao. They also have Carlsberg on tap. A variety of basic Western food is served including steaks, eggs, sausages and hamburgers.
 
How to Get There
 
Blue Sky is within walking distance of Nanjing University and several hotels although most customers would just take a cab here. You shouldn’t be able to miss the 10 meter wide, flashing “Blue Sky” sign.  Nearby are other places that target the foreign crowd such as Slow-life Café, Skyways Bakery and Swede and Kraut.

SOS

The sleek towering new black tile and glass lit neon SOS dance club is one of the hottest night life spots in Yangzhou these days. The ancient city of Yangzhou seems a long ways away when you’re inside this sparkling disco. Try heading to the back of the first floor where people congregate around the elevated dance stage. Otherwise mosey through the other three floors of KTV (karaoke), and who knows what else you might happen upon.  

Unfortunately, drink prices just skyrocketed here to a painful 25 yuan for a small bottle of Qingdao and SOS is no longer the bargain it used to be.

The original Scarlet is now closed. :(     The second Scarlet location in Nanjing, called "Small Scarlet", is located in the 1912 bar district [4].   The original Scarlet, within stumbling distance of Hunan Road [1] and the Nanjing University [2] area, maintains a large and loyal following, especially with the foreign crowd.  This dance-club is busy every night of the week which is something that cannot be claimed by many clubs in Nanjing. Drinks cost 25-30 yuan each, which is typical for bars in Nanjing. *How To Get There:* The bar is located down an alley that stretches between Hubei Lu (湖北路) and Zhongyang Lu [3] (中央路).  Look for the small "Scarlet" signs on Hubei Lu.

The Palace is large, pulsing, and fun. Head upstairs where the music is generally more suited to Western tastes, or ’danceable’, as the crowd usually stays until the wee hours of the morning. Admission is free, but there’s not such luck with drink specials.

To find the Palace (huang gong), head north from the large white Wenchang Pavilion and take a right through the towering red traditional gates. Then head for the undeniably gaudy building.
