Foshan, a city in Guangdong Province that's as vibrant as it is rich in cultural heritage. The sun sets over the bustling streets of Foshan, casting a warm glow on its residents who are just starting to unwind after another day of living life at full speed - and by "unwind," we mean they're finally allowed to check their phones without pretending otherwise! Whether you're in search of a refreshing cocktail or somewhere to grab an affordable drink with friends, Foshan's got it all.
From rooftop bars that offer breathtaking views over the city skyline where you can pretend to be a high roller even if your biggest win was at mahjong that morning - we won't judge! - to cozy little pubs tucked away in quiet alleys like secret hideouts known only by locals, there's no shortage of amazing spots. But let's face it; not all these watering holes are created equal. You can expect the bartender to remember your order from last week if and only if it involves a complicated cocktail with 12 types of spirits - don't quote us on that!
But which ones should you really be spending your hard-earned cash at for that perfect Instagram-worthy moment? Well, we're about to guide you through our top picks for Happy Hour hotspots in Foshan where the drinks flow like rivers and so do the laughs. We're talking rooftop bars with epic views, beer gardens, craft breweries - all sorts of watering holes designed specifically for getting this party started!
1. If you ever find yourself strolling along Dianjiang River's iconic banks while searching for the perfect sunset view over Foshan's skyline, look no further than Jiazi Bar! Not only will you be able to sip on one their famous whiskey-based cocktails that'll put hair on your chest - if you didn't already have any. But with live music and prices starting at just 20RMB a glass (you heard us right!), what more could you ask for?
Top Picks
2. Another local favorite is The Foshan Pub, where beer flows like water from an artesian spring - minus the fancy bottled stuff! After a few rounds of their infamous pub quiz night and a couple beers too many, you might even win free drinks for life (stranger things have happened in Foshan!)
Hidden Gems
3. For those seeking some serious relaxation that'll help them forget last night's drink tab - we won't judge if it involves falling asleep with your face in a cold mug! Head on over to the serene gardens of Shunde Beer Garden, which has beer (and did we mention it?) and lush greenery galore.

Top Recommendations
5. And finally rounding out our top picks is W Hotel's rooftop bar - because when in Rome or Foshan you do what the locals do: enjoy an overpriced cocktail while pretending to be someone who actually deserves it! Breathtaking views and expertly crafted cocktails that'll make your wallet cry (just a little), this spot is perfect for special occasions, even if they're just Tuesday. "When life gives you lemons," as we say in Foshan, "order a mojito" - then proceed to sob about the price later!

Paulaner is that spot – a sophisticated oasis amidst the concrete jungle, beckoning you with its extensive library of over 200 varieties of fine locally crafted beers (and don't even get me started on their impressive small plates selection; think artisanal cheeseboards and spicy meatballs). Can I interest you in trying one of their signature brews? It's like a match made in heaven – the perfect pairing that'll leave your taste buds singing. But what really sets Paulaner apart is its eclectic vibe, where locals and foreigners alike gather 'round to share stories over pints and plates.
Paddy Fields on the other hand, seems almost secretive about itself, hidden away in the heart of Lingnan Tian Di as it is. One might wonder what secrets lie within those unassuming walls – perhaps a clandestine gathering spot for beer connoisseurs or just your average thirsty expat looking to quench their thirst? Whatever the case may be, this cozy pub has got everyone talking.
And when you do finally manage to snag a table at Paddy Fields (good luck!), don't miss out on trying some of their local specialties like fish balls and xiaolongbao while sipping your favorite brew. The combination is pure magic – think of it as flavor alchemy or culinary wizardry, where each bite transports you to the tranquil landscapes of Guangdong province; at least until the next pint arrives that is! Beer aficionados will delight in Paddy Fields' handpicked selection from across China and beyond.
But here's a little secret: behind Paulaner's sleek façade lies an impressive collection of craft beers not typically found on your average bar menu. And just when you thought it was all about the beer, their small plates arrive in droves – because let's face it, beer is always better with snacks! Imagine indulging in a plate of crispy pork belly or succulent lamb skewers while savoring one of Paulaner's exclusive brews.
