The driver and I had trouble finding the place the first time I went. The sign says "Punc" and "Peter's Ultimate Nutrition Club" in difficult to read, small curvy yellow letters, but if you're expecting this then you should be able to find it. I believe if you're facing the front of the MyKal on Xi'an Lu (which is also called the Roosevelt Shopping Center) then you go to your left and make a right turn onto the street just beside the building (Ruyi Jie), go down that street and it'll be on your right side after you pass Bally fitness club (which is connected to the left side of MyKal/Roosevelt building).
The first time I went, it was for one of their party events with a bunch of English teachers and we had a good time. The drinks are affordable (around 15-25 RMB) and they have a range of sweet cocktails that I like. If you catch the bartenders when they aren't too busy they're willing to experiment and make whatever drink you request (as long as you tell them how to make it and they have the ingredients). They made a pretty decent Mojito one night for me and a friend, but once I tried to help a girl order a Cosmopolitan and it didn't work because we weren't sure what was in it.
I like the interior setup. They've got a dance floor, several closed-in tables facing the bar downstairs, and a few more couches with enough room to dance in the upstairs loft as well. What keeps me coming back are the Latin Dance Nights on the weekends organized by a dance teacher who I guess knows the bar owner. Some nights are busier than others, and some weeks they rotate between Fridays and Saturdays or don't have them, but so far it's the only place in Dalian where I've found Salsa dancing. I'll definitely be back!
So the opening party for the PUNC bar went very well, if you wasnt there, you missed ALOT!!! I like that they made the ticket entrance providing free drinks, although there were obviously not enough stuff, cause it took us ages to give the order.'Hopefully they will work on that!
The music was nice, But some of my friends said that they are TIRED of this spanish Hip Hop and R&B.
In my opinion if PUNC will take this notes for consideration, it will be very good place to spend time!!!
Went there last night with the promotion of 50rmb, free 'selected' drinks from 9m - 1am.
Overview: music is ok however, far too small!
Bar staff were a total mess and clueless. Always out of glasses...with the ass of bar man unwilling to use the 'wine' glasses instead.
I do not recommend going here, better off just staying at Dave's Bar.
We had some trouble finding it the first time because it's punc not punk. It calls itself some sort of juice bar, but don't let that fool you. The staff are really friendly and can speak some English. On Friday and Saturday they have a college girl working there that speaks decent English to help serve any foreigners that come in. The drinks are pretty good, and the owner, Jackie, likes to make sure the drinks are done right. Overall the cost is about average, 20 a shot, 10 for a beer. And the music varies from night to night. So far I've heard Hip Hop, Blues, Country, and some old Rock usually in English. THe interior has big comfy couches, with tables so you can play cards, and so seats up at the bar so you can chat with the staff. Overall a decent spot. There isn't any food, so I put that at a 5
