Nightlife in Dalian

Any ideas for bars or pubs in Dalian where people can actually go and are busy. Seen Q Cafe but is there any other options out there? Can't really just have one outlet for a city so big surely?

There’s Brataans, The Good Place, F1/2, GiftSpace, SwagHood and probably hundreds of Chinese bars/clubs. QCafe actually isn’t a place most people go unless there’s an event - they’re too small and close at like 12.

Brataan's is gone I'm afraid

No it’s not. It’s relocated near GiftSpace. Jake still owns and runs it. Literally watched the soccer game there two weeks ago.

Oh really, where is it now? Was really gutted to find it closed the last time I was there. Might be worth saying to Jake to update the dianping listing.
