DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Lamma is no party island, but there are several cosy bars in Yung Shue Wan where you can
converse and watch the sun set over a cold one. Most bars serve what is very much a local
crowd, consisting mostly of expats, in the evenings. You may be asked to sign a members'
book, as some places operate on club licences.
BAR
ISLAND BAR
Wan)
The closest bar to Yung Shue Wan's ferry pier, this place is a favourite with older expats and
hosts the best jam sessions on the island.
BAR
7TH AVENUE
Though the city-sounding name doesn't match Lamma's rural ambience, this new kid on the
block has a welcoming atmosphere with hookahs and outdoor seating, thanks to the 20-year-
old entrepreneur who runs it. All food and booze is reasonably priced.
BAR
FOUNTAIN HEAD
Recognisable by the colourful graffiti-style mural out the front, cheerfully no-frills Fountain
Head has a good mix of Chinese and expats in regular attendance, decent music and beer at
affordable prices.
