Little Monkey Bar, Kangle Gong (Little Monkey·猴子酒吧·康乐宫店)

Little Monkey Bar, Kangle Gong branch, is a small drinks bar in Luohe, Henan Province, China, listed at the northwest corner of Changjiang Road and Songshan South Road in Yuanhui District. It occupies a street-level shopfront, which gives it a casual, walk-in character rather than the feel of a large entertainment complex. Luohe is a mid-sized, relatively quiet prefecture-level city, and venues of this type serve mainly local office workers, friends and younger residents who want a relaxed evening drink after dinner. The crowd is typically in the 20s and 30s, and the dress code is informal: everyday smart-casual clothing is normal and no door policy is known. The atmosphere is conversational, with background music rather than a dancefloor, so the bar suits small groups more than large parties. The drinks programme in bars of this kind in Chinese provincial cities usually combines bottled and draught beer, simple mixed drinks and spirits sold by the glass or bottle, along with snacks such as nuts, fruit plates and fried items; visitors should confirm the current menu on arrival, as no published list is available. Prices are rated at the moderate level ($$), which in Luohe generally means a drink costs noticeably less than in a large coastal city such as Shanghai. Opening hours are not confirmed, but evening-focused bars in China typically open in the late afternoon or early evening and stay open until after midnight, with Friday and Saturday being the busiest nights and weeknights much calmer. Cover charges are not known and are uncommon at small bars, and reservations are rarely needed except for groups on weekends, when a table can be requested by phone or through a Chinese map app. Payment is almost always through WeChat Pay or Alipay, so visitors without a Chinese mobile payment account should carry some cash. The location is close to Luohe's central Yuanhui District shopping and dining streets, making it easy to combine with dinner nearby.
