Bars & Restaurants to visit at Party Pier
Below are the Expat favorites at Party Pier, there are other venues but many of them aren’t keen on have non-local customers and there is a high chance you will be turned away at the door hence the reason I focus on the venues that Expats frequent.
Jojo’s Bar & Restaurant
Set on top of the popular Party Pier, with uninterrupted 360° views over The Canton Tower, The Pearl River, Lide Bridge, The CBD and Wanshengwei, Covering 2 floors wih the 1st been an inside space and the 2nd been the terrace area. One of the biggest Terraces in Guangzhou with a DJ playing chilled house most nights. Most of the clientele are locals but it can get a good mix of locals and expats on the 1st floor where they hold regular events.
Happy Monk
Happy Monk is a cross between a bar and restaurant serving the same
favorites you find in any reputable similar business back home. Founded in 2009 they now have several establishment’s scattered throughout the city. Pazhou Happy Monk can be found in front of Jojo’s, as there are 5 or 6 others scattered around the city. More on the other locations later.
Zapatas Mexican Restaurant & Bar
Can be found at the front of Happy Monk as you enter Party Pier, originally founded in Shanghai, the concept was bought down to Guangzhou after the Shanghai location was forced to shut.
Having both a ground floor and Terrace the ground floor is the party bar featuring Mexican Décor, the party kicks off there about 10pm with a live band and DJ playing to 3am. The Terrace is the chill out area where you can enjoy their Mexican inspired dishes.
Suns Nightclub
Found just past The Happy Monk is one of the old school clubs, its
been operating longer than 10 years and draws both Chinese & Expats to drink and dance the night away to party house, RNB and Hip Hop. With both high table seating in the middle and seated lounge areas on the side, a big island bar at one end and the dance floor & DJ box at the other. Open 7 nights a week
Fuel
An inspired French restaurant with an uber-cool bar and rooftop lounge in Party Pier, this fine two-floor spread is chic and swanky, with avant-garde furnishings and a classy vibe that transports you to what is to come. Fuels entrance can be found opposite Zappatas where you then take the elevator upstairs.
Cube Club
New kid on the block similar to Suns but brand new and more dedicated to house music, it hasn’t been open long enough for me to be able to give details. Located between Zapatas and Happy Monk.
