Penny-pinching Beijing expats complain about the exorbitant prices for drinks here, but it's still an upscale bar that's far cheaper than Hong Kong or New York. Plus, you get a classy, Southeast Asian-inspired decor that incorporates Buddhist statues. The first bar has an annoying pool table smack in the center of everything, but just bypass that room and head for the outdoor terrace or one of the cozy opium beds. Open 6pm until late.
