Nightlife areas

From: IN SHENZHEN

Shenzhen’s best bars are spread far and wide, but there are several areas with a high concentration of bars, pubs and clubs, where you can stroll, stagger or crawl from one venue to the next.


Shekou Sea World

Set around the Minghua cruise ship is an      internationally-minded enclave of bars, clubs and live music venues, alongside plenty of restaurants and cafes. Sea World doesn't party as late as Coco Park does, and tends to attract an older crowd, so it's a good place for a more chill evening, or to get a night started. The standout venue here is Terrace, a cavernous pub-type venue with great Thai food and live music every night from 10 p.m.


OCT Loft

Offering a grown-up, civilised vibe, OCT Loft is more suited to savoring a cocktail or craft beer than embarking on a bar crawl. Serious live music fans gravitate here to watch jazz, alternative, and experimental electronica at B10 Live.


Nantou Old City

An emerging nightlife hotspot, Nantou Old City has an artsy atmosphere and offers craft beer pubs, cocktail bars, and Chinese-style tarvens, particularly on Zhongshan Dongjie near the east gate.
