Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- LG_KaySingapore, Singapore7,488 contributionsThis area is popular among the locals and tourists, especially along the Yandai Xie Street 烟袋斜街 and the surrounding hutongs. As such, there are many shops in this touristy street - food, snacks, handicrafts, souvenirs etc. Many people loved to congregate at the Yinding Bridge 银锭桥. You can take a rickshaw ride in the hutong area or a boat ride in Houhai Lake 后海. Suggest you visit the Bell and Drum Towers if you are here.Written 22 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DreamTerry5 contributionsThis place is simply amazing! Disco Retro Style, the DJ playing music there is unbelievable, she plays classic disco dance songs, and drinking the best handmade cocktails in Beijing. The bar is really beautiful and the people are really friendly. Don’t miss this INCREDIBLE place !Written 8 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Qrys DSan Jose, CA1 contributionStumbled (quite literally) across this bar during a night of revelry, wandering the hutongs. The drinks were delicious, and the bartender was super friendly. We closed it down that night! And returned (pre covid) to Beijing a year later and this was our only must-repeat establishment. I can't recall the name of my favorite beverage, but it's the one with a passion fruit filled with rosemary that they light on fire. Also somewhere within a few blocks was a super cool speak easy in a coffee shop.Written 28 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gert FSeekirchen am Wallersee, Austria20 contributionsWe came there well before the first set started, not knowing we were going to see A Bu, the exceptional young Jazz pianist. The place got crammed full with a great atmosphere. The drinks are expensive, but there is no entrance fee.Written 20 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JulietBeijingBeijing, China129 contributionsBasically an upmarket food court/food incubator and an indicator how things are likely to develop in this buzzing city. Very nicely designed, well maintained and with a very wide selection of choices. Thumbs up for the meat (Carne) and vegetarian stores (Nooxo) on the second floor. Thumbs down for the Thai one on the first floor. Bar upstairs is quite pleasant, but overpriced.Written 11 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- xiaolu666Beijing, China2 contributionsSo far this is my favourite live music venue in Beijing. We went for a metal cover night and the Chinese bands absolutely smashed Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Rammstein and many more, with some crazy mosh pits and headbanging. It was definitely on par with if not better than being in the London metal scene. I highly recommend going here for any of their rock/metal/punk nights; there's cheap beer and plenty of cool and friendly music lovers to hang out with. If you're in Beijing for a while you must also check out School Live bar, Temple bar, Yugong Yishan etc.Written 1 December 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BorisbonbonFreudenstadt, Germany40 contributionsJust the best concept bar in China. One location with Waku Waku Wagyu Beef BBQ.

- Carpet MartinLondon, UK11 contributionsThis is currently listed as #7 of 79 things to do in Beijing nightlife. A city with a population of 30m and there are 79 things to do at night. This tells you everything you need to know about Beijing’s nightlife but this bar is great. We went on a Friday night and were the only people there. Bartender was friendly and mixed a mean cocktail.Written 5 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erin MShanghai, China24 contributionsThe drinks were very good here, what you would expect for a high end cocktail bar. We went right before dinner and wanted to get a snack. They were out of the food we asked to order.
