Two China nights that beat trying to go clubbing

Not sure this counts as nightlife, but these were two quiet China nights I still think about.

In Suzhou last year, my friend and I tried a Rednote-famous cocktail bar around 10pm. No reservation, very polite rejection. We stood outside doing the dumb map panic-scroll and found another bar nearby, up a narrow staircase. I forgot to save the name, sorry. At the landing there were three doors but the other two were fake, only the middle one actually opened. Inside was maybe 12 seats, no menu, almost no noise. Bartender asked sweet, sour, strong, then made whatever. Mine came out super fruity and way too easy to drink. A birthday group had cake, and he gave the birthday girl a free shot.

Beijing last month was less cool but more useful. After 25k steps I booked the foot massage from my trip package's rec list. Walked in barely functioning, walked out feeling like a new person. They started by soaking my feet in hot water, then worked through pressure points on my feet and calves. Some spots hurt in a weirdly satisfying way, like my body needed it but didn't want to admit it. By the end my legs felt weightless and I was half asleep in the chair. If you overdo sightseeing, honestly consider that your night plan.

Has anyone else done nightlife in China while traveling? Curious what you ended up doing.
