Shisha Bistro (淳悦酒逸 Shisha Bistro 茄吧, Yugengshan)

Shisha Bistro (淳悦酒逸 Shisha Bistro 茄吧) is a shisha lounge and bar in the Yugengshan district of Jinghu District, Wuhu, in China's Anhui province. It occupies Building F of the Catholic Church complex (芜湖天主堂) at No. 28 Jihe Street, opposite Erma Tavern, in one of the central city's best-known leisure quarters. The setting gives the venue a more atmospheric backdrop than a typical commercial strip, with the historic church buildings close by. The atmosphere is relaxed and conversational rather than club-like. Shisha, known in Chinese as 茄吧 or water-pipe lounges, is the format's defining feature, and groups tend to settle in for a long evening of slow smoking, drinks and talk. The crowd is generally made up of adults in their twenties and thirties, including friends meeting after dinner and small groups looking for somewhere to stay late. No formal dress code is published, and smart-casual clothing is typical for Wuhu bars. Music is background-level, which suits the lounge format. The listing places the venue in the mid-range price tier, and per-drink and per-pipe prices are not published, so visitors should check the menu on arrival. The bar serves drinks alongside the shisha, and the offering is closer to a lounge than a cocktail specialist. Opening hours run from 12:30 to 03:00, which makes this one of the longer-opening venues in the Yugengshan area and a practical choice for after other bars close. Weeknights are normally quieter, while Friday and Saturday evenings draw larger groups. No cover charge is listed. Reservations are not documented on the listing, but the venue can be reached on +86 177 5537 5073 for groups wanting to confirm a table. Smoking indoors is part of the format here, so visitors sensitive to smoke should consider a different venue. Because the location is central, the lounge is easy to combine with other bars on Qingshan Street and around Yugengshan Plaza, all within a short walk in Jinghu District.
