As soon as you walk up to the venue’s second floor, you will see a professional Texas Hold’em table and two online battle dartboards set up for some good ol’ fashioned fun. Both games have been well received by patrons and add an exciting element to XL Space (along with the seemingly limitless string of LED lights on the top floor).
Additionally, catch all your favorite games here, as ESPN is streamed for the entertainment of bar-goers. Enjoy attentive service and an all-around excellent time at XL Space.

2. The Path

The Path, a unique Southeast Asian restaurant on Huajiu Lu in Zhujiang New Town, is pulling out all the stops on Guangzhou’s beloved bar street. If you fancy cozy Southeast Asian cuisine in the bustling CBD, The Path should definitely be at the top of your wish list (take notes, Santa!). We recommend the boneless chicken feet in Thai chili sauce and green papaya with beef salad followed by the one and only seafood tom yum soup, which will warm you up on these colder Guangzhou nights.

For mains, you’ve got to try the stir-fried prawns and crab with signature curry, a flavorful curry served on a toasted, buttered bun. In order to create a better dining experience, The Path also has a wide selection of beers. From the most down-to-earth drafts, like Jing-A IPA, to the distinctive WFSM Jasmine Flavor, there’s something for everyone.

Of course, you can’t enjoy a good barbecue without the right suds and Jing-A and Brooklyn craft beers are the perfect beer pairing for flame-cooked meats and veggies. With selected craft beer from all over the world, beer lovers will find this place to be their ‘adopted’ home.
