According to the Wuxi Expat Pub Journal, the top ten expat pubs in Wuxi, China in 2013 are:
- Gambay's. #1 1912 Bar Bistrict Street. The original Wuxi Expat pub is still the best. You can't go wrong with their 1 rmb wings and 2 rmb mugs of draft beer.
- The Dilly & Dally Pub. 1957 Jiefeng Road. Just opened, the pub has caught the imagination of Wuxi Expat pub patrons, all over the solar system, with its civilized atmosphere featuring the music of Frank Sinatra and other great artists who sing standards from the great American songbook.
- Hardy's Har Har Comedy Club. 3.14 Xiao Xiao Road. Sit on a whoopie cushion and get a free mug of Suntory Draft!
- The Santiago Cafe. #65 Xi Hu Road. Despite the continual scheduling problems, like celebrating American Independence Day on July 8th, the Santiago's location near the Bao Long Shopping Mall is very convenient for drunk Expats looking to catch taxis.
- McClintock's Bar & Saloon, 43 Ma Lu. Located in the Wuxi China Expatdom Double Happiness Bar & Saloon street , McClintock;s the place for Expatriate Cowboys to drink. And don't worry, whether your name is Sitting Bull or Mahatma Ghandi, the staff at McClintock's will be mighty glad to have ya!
- The Pink Kitty. 69 Nanchang Jie Bar Street. The bar for those Wuxi Expat who practice alternative and neo-modern partnering arrangements.
- The Chestnut Pub. 1984 Hubin Road. Run by the owner of the Pink Kitty, the Chestnut Pub gets it name from a pub in the novel 1984. With its PC atmosphere and speech code, Wuxi Expat Obama supporters, liberal democrats, progressives and leftists will feel right at home.
- Dangle's Participle. 118 Zhongshan Road. The pub for Wuxi English Teachers.
- The Walnut Pub. 1989 Hubin Road. Sister pub to the Chestnut Pub. This is the pub for those who have broken PC speech codes or voiced deviationist or reactionary opinions.
- The Blue & Grey Pub, 1865 Lee Lu. The Pub for Wuxi Expat Civil War enthusiasts. Whether you like reliving the campaigns of Sherman, Lee, Julius Caesar, or Chairman Mao, the Blue & Grey is the pub for you.
Dishonorable mention: Mahovlich's Bar & Grill, #13 Meicun Road. This pub,
run by Ontario, Canada Expats, suffers from bad location, no
furniture, and poor management.
WHAT no boys and girls pub. Or the Lakers Pub, GG's , or the Londoner.

ReplyDeleteIS GAMBAYS PUB NEW. BECAUSE ME AND MY MATES HAVE NEVER HERD OFIT. IS IT the one next to shoho bar that place is run by asshols never going back ther again
ReplyDeleteGAMBAYS is easy to find.
ReplyDeleteHere's what you do:- next time you walk out of Hong Shi Road, take a left into Zhongshan.
Proceed to Renmin, and swing right there.
Then, you walk down the centre-line of Renmin, coz it's faster than the crowded sidewalks, and after, oh, about 10 minutes, GAMBAYS
will be directly in front of you, ok?
Gambey's "The original Wuxi Expat pub"???
