What does it feel like to drink on an outdoor air lounge on a crane? A bit scary as well as exciting at the same time, and meanwhile, you can enjoy the beauty of the city.

If you have been to our Walk & Eat event last year, you would remember this White Pagoda Park, that's where KPub is located. This crane was serving at the first train station in Zhejiang Province 30 years ago. Now it's a great place to enjoy cocktails and watch the FIFA World Cup.

Mill

Images via Internet

This is the first Mill in town and the owners are a bunch of designers, that's why it has been an icon since it opened. Two months ago, Mill reopened after a redecoration. It ingeniously uses the partial tone "miaow" for Mill to extend the cat theme.

A large number of brass elements are used on the gate and the bar. Dark grey and green can also be found in many corners in the bar. Once you enter, you will immediately notice a cat statue on the right side along with a row of liquor bottles that are printed with head portraits from the musical "Cats".

The whole bar is now divided into a cocktail area and a whiskey area. The whiskey area is in a private room which can hold 15 people with a huge selection of whiskey.

The bathroom has a theme of red. If you are a narcissist, sorry, in here you will not be able to appreciate yourself in front of the mirror. They are all bronze mirrors, so you can only get an outline, but we loved it, it feels like being in a Wong Kar-wai movie.

186LanD Café Restaurant & Bar

Images via Internet

This small place can be many people's dream place, don't you just want to have one of your own? Located on Yan'an Road downtown, 5 minutes walk from the West Lake, with three floor-to-ceiling windows on a grey brick house that makes you want to take a peek inside.

Images via Internet

186LanD opened in March and it serves western food and decent cocktails. In addition to classic ones like Negroni and Old Fashioned, we tried one cocktail that was highly recommended by the boss. A blue liquid contained in a high cocktail glass. When you take a sniff, it almost smells like chocolate liquor, but in fact it is made with 52° Maotai which you only realize after drinking it. The baijiu flavor is hard to erase, but it's well mixed with other ingredients, very original.

Images via Internet

When the weather is good, the boss likes to put tables outside on the pavement. Invite a few friends, enjoy 1664 on draft, cocktails and prawn crackers on the roadside.

You probably have been to Peer’s Bar on Baochu Road, this new branch on Zhongshan Road has been upgraded to a new level.

It might well take you a while to find the entrance from the 2,000 bottles of beer wall, and once you finally enter, you will realize the beer wall is just the tip of the iceberg.

Most of them are priced from 20RMB to 30RMB, you can find anything you want, just name it. Pick the beer you want, take a spot on the sofa, listen to the live music band, or watch World Cup on a big screen.

And just when you think this is a beer bar like the other Peer’s, let me tell you, nope! Walk through the bar and try to find the leather suitcases, there is a secret passage hiding behind it.

GM House Bar & Café / 伽马咖啡酒吧

Images via Internet

GM House: outdoor, music, beer, working flair, downtown… These are all keywords for GM House. We guess the GM stands for gentlemen, since here you can find everything that is gentlemen-like.

It's very close to the Kerry Center and the whole bar has two floors. The first floor mainly serves beer with Heineken, Meteor, Goose Island and Budweiser on draft. 

Images via 杭州潮生活

The second floor is for cocktails and whiskey. The difference compared to other whiskey cocktail bars is that GM House is a place for working flair. The dazzling skills, the drinks like "Won't Go Home Tonight", "Deep Sea Bomb", "Ice Fire Nine Heavens" definitely will make you dizzy.

This place is located in Wake Town, only a few minutes walk to the West Lake. Liyue is the pinyin pronunciation for Rio, and that makes it the biggest characteristic of this place.

When the night begins, people start drinking and mingling. Their six-piece house band, Resonanse, comes from South America and they are bringing so much passionate music to the crowd: Latin jazz, blues, pop, samba. They were born with a sense of rhythm, and you can't resist shaking your body with them.

Hermit Bar / 大隐

Image via Hermit 

Hermit Bar moved to a new location. The old one used to be on Yile Road and West Wen'er Road and served great cocktails with Japanese food. The new one now is on Gaoji Street, it is so discrete with a sign that you would miss if you don't pay attention.

Images via Hermit 

Once you enter, you would probably like the high ceiling, all wooden decorated bar and leather sofas, it really felt like being in an old English club. The head mixologist David Luo used to work at Vesper and Apothecary, having a couple of Negroni and Old Fashioned made by him would ignite your night.

Seems like Hangzhou people started to get interested in speakeasies as there are more and more bars going towards this direction. Harbour Island opened in the end of May, finding the way in is not so easy, the secret is on that sailing map.

Once the door is opened, you will see a huge "L" shaped aquarium with gentle blue light in front of you, the bar is on the right hand. A few beams of light coming from the floor create the feeling of a summer beach.

The last entry is not a bar, but something that could be different for nightlife. When we are in Shanghai, we could take the boat to have a tour on Huangpu River, the night view is especially amazing and some of you probably have even been on the boat party. And it's the same for the Thames River, La Seine, Victoria Harbour, a boat trip is a different way to look at a city. Hangzhou finally got its own now!
