Xi'an Travel Forum

We will be in Xi'an for just two nights during a tour with our dinners included. Interested in some places to hang out after dinner... we are not "clubbers" but are more into the pub scene - but are open to any suggestions.

Try Defu Xiang (Defu Alley) near the south gate.

1+1 is one of the most popular clubs and definitely the most popular amongst foreigners. It is located in the middle of Dongdajie (东大街).The club has 2 dance floors: first floor is mostly J-pop music, second floor is mostly hip-hop. There is a relaxed open air bar on the 5th floor which has live music every night. The club pronounced "yi-jia-yi" you can show this for the taxi driver.
Salsa is probably the most popular club, located on west street . This club is your best bet on Fridays and Saturdays however yi-jia-yi is more consistent during the week. The club pronounced sha-sha in Chinese.

It was the good start your exploration is the Bell Tower as it stands in the historical center of the city and is adjacent to the flourishing modern commercial district. In the evening both the Bell Tower and Drum Tower are illuminated and provide a striking setting for the myriad of traditional Chinese restaurants and bright modern shopping malls where with a riot of color and movement the neon lights together with the street lighting present a veritable magical picture. As the bell tolls in the Bell Tower you can imagine yourself standing in the city as it was centuries ago.
If would you like to enjoy some hot music and dance, your destination of first choice will be 1+1 Disco Bar here you are guaranteed unlimited fun and entertainment. About a kilometer from the Bell Tower at No 285 Dong Dajie, the bar is decorated in a trendy style with a hint of 'heavy metal', which is rare in similar bars in Xian.
