Macau

Old movies, countless novels, and gossip through the years have portrayed Macau's nightlife as a combustible mix of drugs, wild gambling, violent crime, and ladies of the night. Up until the 1999 handover back to mainland China, this image of Macau was mostly accurate and did much to drive away tourists. But these days you can enjoy live music and cocktails in elegant surroundings at an ever-growing range of hotels and casinos.

    Housed in a bright pink building with pine-green shutters, this lively wine bar is just steps away from the Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral. The two British expats who manage the place have assembled a wine list that includes more than 430 Portuguese varieties, and there's a fine selection of whiskeys available as well. On the food front, look for British cheese plates, charcuterie boards, and many homemade offerings (desserts among them). Live after-dinner music plays on select dates—particularly Fridays, depending on the season. It’s best to call ahead for details.

    On the 51st floor of its namesake hotel, this classy spot is a restaurant by day and a sultry jazz bar, often with live music, at night. If the choices on the enormous menu of specialty cocktails and hard-to-find spirits leaves you paralyzed, order a signature gin and tonic. The bar has more than 150 types of gin, including an edited selection on an old-fashioned trolley that can be wheeled right to your table.

    A modest collection of bars lines a small stretch of street in NAPE, within sight of the huge golden Guan Yin statue in Macau's Outer Harbour. Although it takes its name from the legendary bar area in Hong Kong, don't expect the wild times and thumping music you might find in the original LKF. In reality, this is a bunch of quiet watering holes where you can meet with friends or watch sports on a big-screen TV. A large number of expats come to relax and drink in the evenings.

    At this drinking establishment in the Venetian Macao you can chill out with a beer after one of the shows. The open mezzanine is a comfortable place to sit down for a pub menu of burgers and fish-and-chips; sports fans, however, may prefer to watch the game around the traditional mahogany bar. Occasional live music is casual and spontaneous.
