Location & Accessibility

Meet Leisure Bar is tucked away in Xiamen’s Haicang District, specifically at No. 33, Xiaguang Dongli. This spot feels like a hidden gem, just a 30-minute drive from Xiamen’s bustling city center. If you’re coming from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, it’s about a 20-minute taxi ride—easy to reach but far enough to feel like an escape. Nearby landmarks include the tranquil Haixi Bay and the iconic Haicang Bridge, making it a perfect pitstop after a day of sightseeing.

Natural Scenery

Perched by the coast, Meet Leisure Bar offers stunning views of the Taiwan Strait. Think golden sunsets over the water, gentle ocean breezes, and starlit skies after dark. The bar’s outdoor seating area is designed for soaking in these vibes: sip a cocktail while watching fishing boats drift by or listen to waves crashing against the shore. Even on busier days, the seaside setting keeps things calm and refreshing.

Cultural Vibes

Inside, Meet Leisure Bar blends modern style with local flair. Exposed brick walls, wooden furnishings, and lantern-lit corners create a cozy, artsy atmosphere. You’ll spot subtle nods to Fujian culture—like traditional tea sets displayed on shelves or hand-painted murals of Xiamen’s heritage. Live music often fills the space, with local bands playing soft jazz or acoustic tunes that add to the laid-back charm. It’s a great spot to chat with travelers or mingle with friendly locals.

Practical Perks

The bar ticks all the boxes for comfort. Free Wi-Fi? Check. English-friendly menus? Absolutely. They serve both Western classics (think burgers and pasta) and Fujian specialties like oyster omelets and tea-smoked duck. Vegetarian options are clearly marked, too. There’s also a small stage for open-mic nights and a bookswap shelf where guests can leave or take a novel. Bonus: the staff speaks basic English, so ordering a drink or asking for recommendations is a breeze.

Experience Tips

Visiting Meet Leisure Bar feels like stepping into a local’s living room with an ocean view. Weekdays are quieter—perfect for solo journaling or intimate dates. Weekends buzz with a young crowd, but it’s never rowdy. Try their signature “Haicang Sunset” cocktail (a fruity mix with a rum kick) and pair it with the fried peanuts served in a Chinese takeout box. If you’re lucky, you might catch a fire-breathing performance during their monthly cultural nights. Pro tip: Sit by the window for the best sea views, especially around dusk.

Whether you’re winding down after a hike in Tianlu Mountain or celebrating a trip with friends, Meet Leisure Bar nails the balance between chill and charm. It’s the kind of place where strangers become friends over shared stories—and where Xiamen’s coastal magic truly shines.
