What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Reviews highlight the rewarding experience of finding hard-to-locate bars with excellent cocktails and a pleasant ambiance, despite potentially limited selections. Carry-out options on Sundays are a significant plus for local stores.
"Great whisky bar. Hard to find, but worth it when you get there. Nice decor, nice music and nice staff. Not the most diverse or extensive range of whiskies for a whisky bar, but enough to satisfy your thirst while in Beijing. Cocktails are excellent as well and served with care and precision."
