Entertainment in Shāndōng

  1. Corner Jazz Club

    Its candlelit tables and mezzanine attracting a youngish expat and local crowd, this spacious and atmospheric bar gets Qīngdǎo fingers snapping to motley live sounds every Tuesday (20:30 to 22:30). Staff speak excellent English and manage a well-stocked bar, while the paraphernalia extends to table football and darts.

  2. Lennon Bar

    Vast two-floor temple to Beatles culture with a loyal following, a good atmosphere and a lived-in feel, with table football, a pool table and live music (on Thursday).

  3. SOS Entertainment

    The coolest and most stylish club in town, with top-flight DJs, extremely loud music and a cross-section of Qīngdǎo's best-dressed pretty young things.

  4. Old Church Lounge

    Located on the ground floor of Kǎiyuè International Youth Hostel, this is a chilled-out bar set in an old church. Order an ice-cold Tsingtao or cocktail, say a prayer (bless me father for I have sinned) and continue to get hammered. There's a pool table, sheesha and lots of little private spaces if you're feeling antisocial.

  6. Club New York

    Fuelled by Shakira and company at full blast, this expat favourite is overflowing with late-night revellers on weekends. It's above the lobby of the Overseas Chinese International Hotel in the business district. Out-of-town bands sometimes hold concerts here and there's a cover band from Tuesday to Sunday. Drinks are expensive so come prepared to spend…doesn't seem to stop the expats though!
