 The University (Wuhan University and others) area offers some smaller and more relaxed places to have a drink. The streets around Ba Yi Lu (武昌八一路, 武汉大学正门口东) are especially good and the Festival Bar is currently popular among Wuhan's foreign students. A similar place is the Sunshine Bar near the Shangri La hotel. The Sunshine Bar is a bit more expensive than the bars around the universities.

There are many bars along Jianshe Dadao Avenue(汉口建设大道) in Hankou.  Upper and middle class people generally hang out in these bars, which are artistically well decorated. Jazz, blues, Latin-American music, and exotic dance performances give these bars a different feel and more relaxed and diversified atmosphere. However, drinks and food here are a bit expensive (meals 25-40 RMB, cocktails 25-50 RMB).
 
I recommend the Red Lover (Hong Se Lian Ren, 红色恋人酒吧, 建设大道600号). It is truly a very  pleasant place to enjoy an evening.

Taibei Road is packed with 6 or 7 bars. Dancing groups and rock bands present live performances. Karaoke, KTV, Western buffets, discos, and many other indulgent activities are available here. Drinks are cheap, usually around 20 Yuan, and you will be able to socialize with all classes of Wuhanese around Taibei Road. The area is noisy and possibly a bit unsafe.
 
You can find many other bars along Xinhua Road (新华路) as well. Entrance fees often cost around 25 Yuan per person (unless you know someone). Xinhua road is about 3 km northeast of Taibei Road, but within the same district.
 
How do you get to Taibei Road from Xinhua Road: Take bus 705 to Zhong Shan Park bus stop, then another bus (706 or 522) down to Taibei Road.
 
How to get to Taibei Road from Wuchang: Buses 401, 403, 519, 536, 596, 710, 706 and 522 running from Wuchang to Hankou are ideal to get to Taibei Road or simply catch a cab.

No. 572 Wuchang Branch, Wuluo Road (武璐路)
+86 (0)27 8789 5342

This venue offers two floors of fun and each floor provides contrasting atmospheres. On the second floor patrons enjoy more of a lounge type atmosphere. The space is divided into several small rooms that give the bar an intimate feel, making it an ideal place to bring a bunch of friends.
 
On the third floor you’ll find the disco. Simply put, the decor of the disco contains a lot of red! A large video screen hangs above the DJ booth and dance floor. The visuals are usually displaying very fashionable, sexy, and sometimes erotic imagery.
 
If you want to meet expatriates in Wuhan, the Blue Sky (蓝色天空咖啡) on Xinhua Street is the ideal place. It is also known as the French Terrace due to the large number of French patrons that are regulars at this joint. The Blue Sky plays good music and boasts a wide selection of food. Drinks are relatively cheap. Note that drinks are half price between midnight and 1 am not including the “hots”.

Night boat tour at Yangtse River

After daytime tour, would you like seat on the boat to see the night scene of Yangtze River and both side Wu Chang and Han Kou. I'd like to introduce some places around the Jiangtze River.
