The recently opened Skye Lounge brings its very own chic ambiance and tasty array of cocktails to the already bustling Yulin neighborhood. While the web domain says ’bars’, Skye Lounge insists upon showing Chengdu what a ’lounge’ is all about. Afternoons generally host business-minded customers with laptops and cell phones to manage dealings all over the world while they sip on coffee and nibble on croissants. The volume is turned up a bit at night when the patrons move away from the plush sofas and chairs and closer to the bar to focus on Skye Lounge’s specialty: the cocktails. The Skye Lounge is fortunate enough to have an experienced Californian behind the bar ready at a moment’s notice to mix up drinks to blow away Sichuan locals and foreigners alike. Keep an eye on the website for announcements of themed parties and guest DJs to come.

How to get there: The Skye Lounge is on Yulin Xilu (West Yulin Street). Yulin Donglu heads west from Renmin Nanlu and becomes Yulin Xilu. It is probably 10-15 minutes walk from Renmin Nanlu and past the Little Bar. It is very close to Yongfeng Lu.
