If you want to hear some of the best bands in the World then head to Asia. You can find a number of them in the Hong Kong Province too.

Filipino performers tend to be the best (with or without Westerners in their bands). They voices are to vibrant. The musicians usually do not read sheet music but you would never know. They are entertainers.

Do you like AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Journey, Usher, Elton John, etc.? They can perform it. They sound just like the original artist.

How much does it cost? Just the price of a beer and a tip. You will be thoroughly entertained!!!

Oh, the "talent" beyond the band tends to be nice looking. But, most of us are focused on the performers in the band. They light it up!!!

Check out Kowloon or Hong Kong Island. The Wan Chai area tends to be very popular too.

Many of the good hotels do have some live music available too.

Dress Code: Jeans will do.

Friendly ex-pats go here and the filipino duo who sing here are friendly. You are bound to meet people. It's easy to strike up a conversation. The ex-pats may take you on to other places later if they are in the mood for a big night out.

Dress Code: It's a pub.

Every Friday night there is an 80s party at a place called Alfa in Sanlitun. We all had an amazing night at this place. All the usual classic 80s music was being played and enjoyed by the mostly ex-pat crowd. There are quite a few different rooms to relax and sit in as well as a dancefloor.

FREE entry.

Irish pub in Beijing

I always try to find an Irish pub wherever I go. You can find one in Beijing on Peking Road, 71-77. They serve Harp beer and when I was there, I found a Scot and a Brit. Nice atmosphere.

Dress Code: Casual

There is an english language version of Time Out for Beijing. Inside this there are listings and reviews for a number of different nightlife places. It is worth taking a look at this if you are searching for a place to spend the evening.

A sweet , two story restaurant with JAZZ!!!!!
If you enjoy Jazz and Blues , check this place out O.K – Cajun and crayfish in central Beijing? If proof were needed of the rapid expansion of the global village it can be found in this authentic Louisiana-style hot spot on Chaoyang Park. Ex-pats looking for a gumbo and jambalaya fix love it, but locals do too, taking seats in the old fashioned American bar area or in the second-floor dining space with its balcony. It’s not quite a Bourbon Street view but it’s close. Music is jazz and blues and a wild once-a-year Mardi Gras party that packs the place out too. And if spicy Cajun food is not your thing, they do fun flirty cocktails. Try the sweet C and creamy Mississippi Dream, containing Baileys and Kahlua.

Dress Code: Casual
I wore long pants and nice shirt since I didn't really know anything about the place,except that there was jazz and blues.
