…the low-down on nanjing city

Estaminet

Apr 22nd, 2008 under Bars & Clubs

An underground bar worth checking out. Great for getting a cold beer especially in the late spring and summer. Meet people there. And the beers are cheaper than those sold along shanghai road.

How the hell do you get here?

If you’re walking along Shanghai Road from Guangzhou Road to Hankou West Road, look for the Mcdonalds sign on your left.

Just so you know, it says “Mcdonalds; Open 24-hours.” Now you make a left and walk up a tight slope. Estaminet is on your left.

Here’s the map for you: nanshida

According to the hilarious writer of nanjingtopten, “the laid-back, friendly boss believes in giving customers what they want, not what Confucius says is good for them.”

  1. Ex Nanjing Expat on February 16th, 2010 :

    If you give Estaminet bar a higher rating they Bluesky you must jugde on price alone.
    If you are that hard up maybe Estaninet is better but in all othet ares Bluesky is far the best. Bluesky 10/10.

    [...] ranging from ritzy to understated can be found at places like Secco (also soon to be reviewed) and Estaminet. There are many, many places to go, most of which are better than [...]

  3. cold beer on October 26th, 2008 :

    stopped into Estaminet on Sat. afternoon. The beer was cold and the german sausages were tasty, but the ambience was lacking. Knocked four roaches off the bar in just under an hour. My limit is normally five in one hour, so let’s hope they can can get it under control.

    OK, creep away, CT, but I got your number

  10. Cloudtrapezer on September 24th, 2008 :

  11. no quarreling in nanjing on September 23rd, 2008 :

    c’mon guys, don’t you know the campaign for civilized society in china is now the rage?
    how can you brits and aussies and what nots quarrel and show such bad example of good manners…..

  12. Cloudtrapezer on September 22nd, 2008 :

    Excuse me, but that’s my line, and in any case it misquotes me. Is this the same Brian who recently clogged up my website with garbage? If I catch that creep, I’ll hammer him, be under no apprehension. Never trust anyone called Brian. Get a life, Brian.

  13. Estaminet and Bluesky on September 18th, 2008 :

    The beer in bluesky is imported along internet cables direct from the Arctic and served in scooped-out baby icebergs. But Estaminet has atmosphere and better girls.

    Add a ‘French cook’ and some foreign faces at the bar and “the laid-back, friendly boss believes in giving customers what they want” at a higher price of course…

  15. dunno boutit on June 11th, 2008 :

    heard they have a french cook there now.
    AND that it’s not so cheap anymore…

  16. Bar Stool King on June 11th, 2008 :

    Is Estaminet really any good? Is it really worth the walk up the hill from Blue Sky? If it is, then I’m really up for the walk - or maybe even a taxi during our hell-like summer :-)
