HEIMa Bar
Located on the quiet Donghu Street, this self styled Viking Bar is the only bar in Zhujiajiao that serves both beer and a wide range of liquor and cocktails. HEIMa is an an Icelandic word that can mean both "home" and "world". With a homey DIY feel, they have built a two story bar-cafe-hangout that mixes the traditional style of Zhujiajiao with their interests in all things Scandinavian. This is probably the only place in China where you can find a tibetan yak skull next to a painting of the Icelandic coat of arms. The fridge had a good selection of cold beers and the drink menu had custom drinks and shots with names like "Iceland" and "Swordstrike".
Zher
Run by a friendly punk called Frank, this beerhouse is a local favourite. The chinese name è¿å¿ simply means "here". Drinks and snacks are served outside under the willow trees during the spring and summer months. During the colder pars of the year it's better to sit in his newly renovated house, with psychedelically painted floors, comfortable armchairs and a film projector. The music follows the preference of the owner, who is the vocalist of a Shanghai punk band. It's a great place to hear some elusive underground Chinese punk, ska and hardcore. He has a nice fussball table and provides Hookahs and flavored tobacco, and also sells some kitschy communist era souvenirs and handmade jewelry.
