Best Changchun Bars / Clubs 2013

[Chris]

Hi All,

 

Im moving back to Changchun from Singapore in early March with work and have not been here since 2010. Can you let me know where the best bar locations are - I remember back in 2010 the corner cafe was quite good esp on Friday evenings but I understand this has since disappeared. Is Austin bar good ? Any decent clubs in the new Sheraton hotel ?

 

I recall a latin bar on Longli Lu way back in the mid 2000s but I think this has since long gone (was it called La Loco... ??). From memory Longli Lu seemed rather dead in 2010 - still the case ? Im well familiar with the Mayflower presence and just wondering if they still hold the monopoly on nightclubs in Changchun or have things progressed a bit since ?

 

All feedback very welcomed.

 

Thank you all.

 

Chris.

Sounds good. Time for some exploring :)

Yep. And GP, grandpas.

Happy home I guess....! Thanks

[Chris]

Thanks Jack - forgive my ignorance but what is HH ? Is the classic bar still running ? I remember a great coffee place on xian Lu, same side as the classic bar, name evades me at the moment. Was a wonderful spot though with massive armchairs and Latazza coffee.

Concur with richard, there is the bermuda triangle, GP, HH and Nautilus, only no one ever disappears.

Thanks Richard, looking forward to the cooler weather after being in this pressure cooker for a long time :) I have very fond memories of Changchun, it's a wonderful city.
