Please help us keep these listings current and correct.

Popular Spots

Bars and Clubs

    • Auld Lang Syne
        2/F JinYuan Bld, 88 Song Yuan Rd, Luohu District, 2588-7000. Nice atmosphere with a younger crowd than the Ditian Bar, well behaved. Nightly shows (all in Chinese, but fun!). Unlike clubs elsewhere in Asia or the west, there is no nudity and suggestive behavior is kept low key. Busy on weekends, so you might want to reserve a table and arrive before 10pm.
    • Ditian Bar
        8/F Shenzhen Royal Hotel, 1090 Wenjin North Rd, 2562-8888. Mainly Karaoke. More mature crowd (25-30+).
    • Smart Jack Bar
        501A Seascape Square (Hai Jing Guang Chang), Seaworld, Shekou, 0755-2685-5509, email. Gay-owned bar and nighclub.

        "There is a new gay bar in Shekou! Its called Smart Jack. 5/F of the Seaview Tower in Seaworld...that's over the Bank of China. Its small, but quite nice. Check it out." -- GWM-shenzhen, Jul 14, 2006

    • U Bar (mixed)
        3/F Ocean Pacific Mansion, Jiabin Rd (near Da Ju Yuan, MixC Mall), 8213-8079. Cool sounds. Crowded, especially from 1am onwards. Mostly straights, but trendy gays go also.
    • Why Not Bar
        3/F Huo Li Club, behind Jing Du Hotel (close to Da Ju Yuan), 8236-6823. Karaoke lounge that turns into a disco after midnight. Two VIP rooms for private karaoke. Very busy on the weekends. Many younger guys, but not many English speakers.

        Comments from Utopians:

        "Why Not is the most popular gay bar/disco in Shenzhen. Very crowded on weekends. Busy on weekdays. Always very good music (western and Chinese mixed). Not too many foreigners. This is the right place to meet gay locals who will be pleased to show you more about the gay scene. Beware of 'ducks' (moneyboys)." -- Antoine, Jul 25, 2006

        "Fri at Why Not is cool. 9pm-midnight is karaoke, then disco til 2am. The crowd is mostly Chinese. Be careful though because there are a lot of moneyboys. Met some cool friends there though." -- cool_ash, Mar 13, 2006

      Comments from Utopians:

      "Went to V Bar and it's a nice, fun atmosphere - nice lighting, themed decorations, a pool in the club, cabanas, etc. Wear black if you go. The live band was quite good, both musically as well as at getting the crowd fired up to participate. As a place to meet gay men, I would not recommend it (though I did encounter two gays) - the drinks aren't strong enough and the guys aren't hot enough. I prefer the gym rats and circuit boys, and they definitely aren't going to V Bar on Sat nights." -- tony20009, Jan 21, 2008

      "If u r into live bands...go to V Bar, inside of the Crown Plaza Hotel, opposite side of Windows of the World...and there's U Bar...cool crowd, nice music. Portifino is inside OCT in Nanshan, near Happy Valley. Or, if you like to drink and chat there are a lot of places in Ke Xue Guan (Jusco). Try Demon: Uniyc, pub area, Citic City Plaza, 2598-9118. These bars are not exclusively for gays, but there are some gays/bi's cruisin' there...I should know coz am 1 of 'em! Great places to meet up for an EB (eyeballing), hehehe." -- cool_ash, Jun 6, 2006
