If you want to see contemporary Beijing at its best, check out Song Music Bar and Kitchen. Designed by and named after Chinese artist Zhong Song, Song is not only creatively designed but also features an innovative menu and great music. The curved wave-like wooden interior is inspired by rice terraces in Yunnan, China, and serves as a beautiful backdrop to one of the most popular dance-floors and

If the rundown exterior of the Eastern Inn dissuades you, it shouldn't. This bar is a mainstay among the young and upwardly mobile who can't quite afford the price tag of Centro or Face when it comes to real drinking. I've been following bartenders George and Echo from First Cafe to Midnight and finally to Q, where they've found their home and their audience. Real stiff drinks with real alcohol

On the last couple of trips to Beijing, my friends and I continue to end up at Apertivo. I am sure there are other laid-back bars w/ a nice terrace in BJ, but this one's heated in the winter! A good, consistent place to go w/ friends.

Indie music scene in Beijing is alive and kickin at MAO, a great venue to see China's young indie rockers. This smoke-filled dive with plenty of skater kids feels like a genuine punk rock establishment. Its a place you'd find in San Fran or Boston, but the fact that its in Beijing and features young Chinese rockers makes it so much more memorable. A must-see for music lovers!

When I first heard about "Bed", I pictured the chic, super-modern "Bed" bars I have been to in Bangkok and San Francisco. So, I had mediocre expectations, since the other ones always attract a crowd more interested in being seen than the quality of food or drinks. I was completely surprised, then, when we found Bed tucked away in an old Hutong. The design turned out to be a fun

If there's a big football (soccer) game on, this place will be showing it and the bar will be packed. Good atmosphere, good drinks (especially during happy hour).

Superb music venue in central Beijing. Large place, with stage at one end and a two-tiered standing area in front. Decent drinks, good atmosphere. I saw some really good Chinese indie bands play there, though the crowd was probably about two-thirds western. Cover was 50RMB for the event, so not cheap, but worth it.

If you like your drums fast and your music loud, this is the place for you. I saw a selection of Chinese punk bands, plus, curiously, a Norwegian guy in a flared blue suit with an acoustic guitar who finished off the night, and actually had converted the punk crowd by the end (with one notable exception). The setting is more of bar with a stage crammed at the end, rather than the nearby 13 that is
