Night life in Wenzhou

Most Chinese cities have a pretty diverse night-life. In Wenzhou, there are several bars and clubs that are frequented by both foreigners and locals. One such place, and my personal favorite, is a bar called La Luna Bar and Grill. It is owned and operated by a Mexican-American named Jorge (George). It is a small hole-in-the-wall place but the booze is good, the food is better, and the people are always interesting. During holidays like Halloween, La Luna hosts a party. I have posted some pictures of the party here in this blog. This year there was costume competition, the winner got an oven. Unfortunately I did not win, but one of my co-workers got second place which was a bottle of Oregon wine.

*Update: La Luna has since moved several times and is now under new (Chinese) ownership. The former owner of La Luna is the part owner of another foreign bar located under European City called Odessa. It is now my favorite bar. La Luna is still OK, but has become rather "chinafied."  Both Odessa and the new La Luna host Halloween parties.
