Be There or Be Square Bar in Sanya

The bar is located next to the river on Hexi road, which is very central and therefore easy to find.

Be There or Be Square actually features two bars. On the ground floor, the ‘Showing Bar’ features live music from local bands that usually perform covers of American rock bands.

Underground, the ‘Slow Bar’ is more of a chill out room. Much quieter than upstairs and with soft lighting, this is a place where patrons can sit in comfort and chat, watch the football or play some rounds of pool.

The place is bathed in red light and fiercely air-conditioned. Comfy red couches line tables, mellow trance music plays in the background, a good place to start or end an evening out. RMB380 for a bottle of Jack Daniels.
