Nightlife in Ningbo

Of course, different tourists seek different needs when visiting a bar. If you seek some foreign contact and companionship then Le Cargo and Shamrock at Laowaitan or LBB are good choices.  The staff at these locales are friendly, speak English, and will make you feel welcome. There is never a shortage of foreigners in these bars to strike up a conversation with.

If cost is not a worry, then the five star hotels, Nanyuan, Portman and International have well appointed and comfortable bars with great service, but at five star prices.

If you want to mix with Chinese locals, then some of the smaller bars scattered around town are the way to go. These include Latitude 31 Degrees (Zhongshan East Road), The Shades (Gu Lou) and Harley Davidson Bar (Mayuan Rd).

There are of course, the innumerable KTVs (karaoke) and Tea Houses throughout the city for those who aren't up for a night at the bar. If none of these options meet your fancy, you can always go to the movies.
