Lenbach Western Restaurant & Bar 兰巴赫西餐酒廊 View In Map
Lenbach is a restaurant & bar that has been renovated in the German-style décor. There are no loud-playing bands and rowdy dancers, just little intimate groups that sit quietly chatting over a few drinks. Service staff here also wear uniforms that are typical of German-style venues. Many expats opt to come here for a quiet drink when they're in town. Here, you can enjoy great-tasting German imported beer like Paulaner and Krombache. They even serve 1L and 5L big pitcher-size drinks. They've also got a variety of wine too; you're able to choose from long racks lined with different wine bottles. Recommended are assorted German sausages and rib eye steak – very delicious and genuine tasting German dishes.

Mulligans Irish Bar爱尔兰酒吧 View In Map
This Irish-style bar offers authentic Western food and world famous beers and wines. It's a roomy restaurant with coffee-color walls, and Irish bagpipes can be seen hanging on the walls as decoration. The wooden tables and chairs are said to have been imported from the UK – all part of the elements that make it Irish (except for the English furniture, strictly speaking). There is a big-screen TV for watching ball games and even some intimate seating for couples. There are sporadic performances at the venue from overseas bands, and guests are largely expats living in or visiting the city. The atmosphere at the venue is very comfortable and cozy. Every Thursday night is ladies' night – which means that the ladies get free refills on soft drinks.
