Explore lesser-known bars in Hangzhou

When it comes to bars in Hangzhou, it is said that those young people who love drinking in Hangzhou always gather under a French plane tree in urban neighborhoods such as Fengqi Road and Qingtai Street as the night falls: with the roaring vehicles flowing on the road, shivering in the cold winter, after smoking the last Zhongnanhai cigarette in their hands, they gradually enter the world behind them. Hangzhou's Late Market, Quarter, and other bars illuminate their desire to get drunk.

Taste Room

"In a bar opened by artists, of course, we still talk about design." The first bar was recommended by Casey, Taste Room. This bar is a design-oriented craft brand founded by two designers who graduated from the University of the Arts London. It combines limited edition home furnishings, design, a micro gallery, and self-made craft beer.

Quarter

This is one of the most famous cocktail bars in Hangzhou: Quarter. Located in a two-story building with the style of the old wall gate in Yuanfuli, the bar is filled with historical items: antique carved wooden cabinets, charming vintage sofas and chairs, and a wall mural that exudes a touch of oriental mystery in the dim light. The Quarter bar is always bustling. That night, we met the owner of Loopy and the manager of Paris Gate, Iko. Those who love drinking in Hangzhou all gather here. It was almost 2 a.m., and Hangzhou was really, really cold. People hadn't had enough to drink yet, so we went to a third bar.

Late Market

It is said that one of the owners here, Jinn, is a space designer who loves alcohol. It seems that designers in Hangzhou really love alcohol. The bar has a Speakeasy style and the atmosphere is quite lively.
