Changchun is home to a surprisingly large number of Western-style bars and clubs. However, when one measures the bars according to quality rather than quantity the number starts to decline somewhat. One of the main bar scenes is located on Yihe Lu (义和路) as well as a strip of bars on Longli Lu (隆礼路). However, as most expats who’ve spent a fair time in China have probably discovered, many bars along infamous “bar streets”, smothered in neon lights and with suspicious looking bar maids leave a lot to be desired. To avoid stumbling into the first dodgy bar you see, we’ve compiled a list of some of Changchun’s favourite expat watering holes.

Formerly known as Cheers Bar, Three Monkeys received a thorough face life and re-opened in early 2009. Designed by British, American and Italian architects, the bar only plays Western music and has English ale and Irish stout on its menu. The bar also brags a pool table and outdoor terrace, popular with expats in the Summer.

This bar opposite the Shangri-la hotel is a popular destination among the expat community in Changchun. A live band performs regularly and the bar’s beer menu is quite extensive. Cosy, warm and intimate, Second Home Bar easily lives up to its name.
