I'm new in town, where do the other English speaking international type folks hang out?
12 years 28 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment - Dalian
What district do you live in? A bunch of foreigners live around Peace Plaza. Also, in Zhongshan district there are quite a few foreign bars and restaurants. Check out www.dalianxpat.com.
BoBo's is the relaxed, "pub" here in da lian. It's quite nice and not expensive.
Then there's JD's - this is the foreign hell hole you go to when you wanna pick up astrayed chinese girls and the average russian broad.
If you are just looking for a xpat friendly bar (not night club), then the main choices are:
Brooklyn (more restaurant than bar, but great hangout none the less)
Friends Bar (Yanan Lu & Chi Chi Jia) was my favorite place to hangout. They also have great burgers.
BoBo's (Around the corner from Friend's) was nice, but a little to noisy & cramped for my tastes
Those were my typical haunts when I lived there about a year ago. Hope it helps, enjoy Dalian and button up for the windter.
You could expect to find many around shopping areas/malls. The places where they can find something that they recognize like a starbucks, movie theater, etc., Most places you can always find xpats in those types of areas. It's a place to hang out with your friends if you haven't already got plans...
