Location & How to Get There
Dock Bar sits in a buzzy corner of Shenzhen’s Bao’an District, right next to the sprawling Shenzhen Stadium. If you’re near Luo Tian Road, keep an eye out for the “Baoti Bar Street” sign—it’s tucked inside the stadium’s auxiliary field area. By subway? Hop off at Bao’an Center Station (Line 1 or Line 5) and walk about 10 minutes. Buses 338 and M377 drop you even closer. Driving? There’s parking nearby, but weekends get packed.
Natural Vibes & Scenery
Perched near the coast, Dock Bar offers killer views of the city skyline meeting the sea. Come sunset, the place glows orange—perfect for photo ops. At night, twinkling lights and a salty breeze make it feel like a mini vacation. Even if you’re not a drinker, the waterfront ambiance is worth a visit.
Culture & Theme
This spot screams “nautical chic.” Think anchors, ropes, and vintage ship wheels everywhere. Live music often features local bands jamming indie tunes, and the crowd mixes expats with young Shenzhen locals. Try their signature cocktail, “Harbor Light,” which comes with a tiny paper sail as a garnish—a fun nod to its maritime vibe.
Food & Drinks
Dock Bar keeps it simple but tasty. Think burgers, tacos, and shareable platters. Their mojitos are fresh, and the beer list includes craft brews from across China. Bonus: The outdoor patio has heaters for cooler nights, so you can sip without freezing.
Extra Perks
Free Wi-Fi? Check. Friendly staff who speak enough English? Double check. They even host trivia nights and DIY cocktail workshops. Tip: Weekends get rowdy, so weekdays are chiller for dates or small groups.
The Experience
Day or night, Dock Bar feels like Shenzhen’s hidden gem. Watch a game on their big screen, chat with bar regulars, or just stare at the ocean. It’s less touristy than spots in Futian, but that’s why we love it. Oh, and don’t miss their rooftop—if you can snag a seat, it’s sunset gold.
Pro tip: Mention “Dock Bar” to cab drivers—they’ll know where to go.
