Drink in Dali

A 500ml bottle of Dali Beer will cost you �8-10 in a bar and about �3-4 from a grocer. A large selection of beer is on offer but some are coloured green and require an acquired taste. But for the price, there is no excuse not to sample the lot.
  • Bad Monkey (坏猴子; Huàihóuzi), 59 Renmin Road, Dali Old Town (人民路59号; Rénmínlù). From 9AM. Dali's longest running foreign bar. It is hosted by Englishmen Carl and Scott who entertain guests before the dancing starts later in the evening with a Derek and Clive patter of jokes and one-liners. The Monkey is a magnet to travelers, many of whom seem to wander in and never leave. The bar boasts a pool table, dancing pole, a huge selection of imported beers and spirits (as well as their own Bad Monkey Beer made locally at the bar's microbrewery), and occasional bands and DJs. The bar also opens from the morning as a cafe, providing real Western breakfasts, with Thai, Indian and Western lunch and dinner also available throughout the day.
  • Daliba (大理吧; Dàlǐbā), 260 Renmin Road, Dali Old Town. The first flavoured vodka bar in China, owned by Vanessa from Guizhou province. More than 30 flavoured vodkas made by Vanessa and Kiki, beer and cocktails are available too!
  • Sun Island Cafe (太阳岛). A cool relaxed place where people come with music to spin. Owned by some awesome friendly Japanese guys, this is the place to come and meet people and listen to live music played on the digeridoo and instuments made from any old junk they can lay their hands on. Well worth a visit for a few drinks, well worth a stay in the rooms they have for visitors in the courtyard.
  • ClimbDali (大理攀岩), 393 RenMin Lu, . Boulder bar offers free bouldering, cheap beer, and information on rock climbing around Dali. Also has an organic garden and pool table.
