There are two main options for an alcoholic drink. One is the 'time machine' KTV bar across from the New Century hotel where a small KTV room sets you back 288RMB with 4 drinks of your choice included, you can stay there till 3am for this price if you wish. The Armani bar is the other option, most taxi drivers will know it. It has a school disco vibe full of fairy lights and lasers and with heavy hip hop, American and Russian, on rotation and a mixed Han and Uighur clientele. A Snow or WuSu beer will set you back 10 RMB. It is highly advised not to get drunk and be on the street. If you are tipsy getting a taxi is safest even if you are staying nearby at New Century or ShaChe hotel. Taxi rides should be 5 RMB.
