Lounge recommendations for Chongqing

Looking for recommendations for good bars/lounges in Chongqing for a bit order crowd where 30+ will not feel out of place. Tried 9th street and it ran pretty young.

Chongqing has a lively nightlife scene, but many popular areas such as 9th Street tend to attract a younger crowd. For a more mature, 30+ crowd looking for relaxed bars or lounges, there are several options worth exploring.

Recommended Bars and Lounges:

  • The 8th Floor – A stylish rooftop bar with great views of the Yangtze River. The ambiance is more relaxed, and the crowd is generally professional and in their 30s or older.
  • Linkin Bar – Located in the Jiangbei district, this lounge offers cocktails and a comfortable environment suitable for groups looking to chat rather than party hard.
  • Bar Code – Known for its sleek interior and good selection of wines and spirits, popular with an older, more sophisticated crowd.
  • All Bar One – International-style bar offering a quieter, comfortable setting ideal for groups or small gatherings, avoiding the younger nightlife vibe.

Other Areas and Tips:

  • Yuzhong and Jiangbei districts have several hidden lounges and hotel bars that cater to professionals and expats. Checking hotel bars in 5-star hotels like JW Marriott or Kempinski often provides a refined environment.
  • Riverfront areas along Nanbin Road have a few upscale cocktail bars with river views, perfect for groups who want a scenic and calm atmosphere.
  • Weekends can still be busy, so arriving early or reserving a table is recommended if you are a larger group.

Overall, for a crowd in their 30s or older, focusing on rooftop bars, hotel lounges, and quieter upscale districts will give a more comfortable experience than the typical nightlife streets. These options allow conversation, good drinks, and a more relaxed atmosphere without feeling out of place.
