The booming bar industry is a recent addition to China's developing economy, and patrons tend to be under thirty. While new bars open all the time, Chongqing tends to favor European-style clubs. Most Chongqing bars offer both drinks and dining. Bars that double as restaurants are, as a rule, more expensive, while bars that only serve drinks are markedly cheaper.

Jiefangbei is the buzzing heart of Chongqing's nightlife, flush with dance clubs and lovely women, while the area around Linjiangmen bookstore, though small, is packed with bars and teahouses. Dozens of elegant bars are scattered around the Datang Plaza area. Deyi World, an underground entertainment district is a great place to get your kicks and eat, too. Yangjiaping, Straight Port Avenue, Jiangbei European street and Binjiang Road all offer a high concentration of night spots.

For something more refined, check out coffee shop located on the ground floor of The Harbour Plaza which hosts live Singaporean music in the evenings.
