    Tuesday is ALL YOU CAN EAT TACOS for only 88¥!! And they are pretty good - buffet style. And for 30¥ u can get unlimited margaritas or Carlsberg. Pretty good Tuesday night for just 118¥!

    Yes, Zapata's does serve good Tex-Mex, and in addition is a great dive bar to shake a leg! Great place for Shisha, margaritas and pinacoladas. Open till 2.30 am on weekdays and 5 am on weekends.

    So fun especially during ladie's night. Ideal if you like dancing on a bar and drinking tequila from the bottle.

    Zapata's is unique for a few reasons. The foremost is the good mix of Chinese and foreigners being able to interact indoors as well as a nice outdoor area. Second is the famous bar top dancing.

    Awesome outdoor seating, good food and drinks. They should focus on service instead of creating foursquare specials though. Around 15 min to get the menu and place order, and 15 min to get it...

    Nice night spot or day. Courtyard approved but autumn or early spring for better outdoor climate. But you know if you ain't in Mexico or Texas well it's just food. Good dance bar

    You get some creepy men showing up for prosties/staring at young girls dancing on the bar, but if you're our for a old time and ignore that, Zaps is definitely a fun spot! Find Jackie for hookah!

    Loads of different people here. Young and old. Anything goes, relaxed atmosphere. Good for a night out with mates and getting silly. Don't take yourself too seriously! Its meant to be a laugh.

    Nice atmosphere around 11pm. The dance floor occupies its whole grand.But they're like playing the trendy songs without any remix. Great place to get warmed up before parties.

    For all users who wish to get their free drinks with the special offer between 9 and 11 pm . Managers just don't give a shit and serve you an ice cream in a glass. Impressive level of custom service!

    Be careful when they serve free tequila coz someone can be so cheap to get it , jump on your feet and smash it just for free tequila . Sorry to say but all of those are foreigners ..

    If you can snag a table outside on a quiet night drinks are 20rmb cheaper than at neighboring Sasha's.
