Five Square Intimate Meters: Laotou Bar Opens at Gulou

Submitted by thebeijinger on Mon, 02/01/2010 - 12:00

Taking up no more than 5sqm of Gulou hutong real estate, Laotou may have the lowest rental costs of any Beijing bar. That alone won’t guarantee a massive profit margin for the owners.

Firstly, the drinks are economical, starting from RMB 15.

Secondly, given the limited space, Laotou will never be hosting more than ten drinkers at any one time. But this bar has a natural crowd. If you love rock ‘n’ roll and have a passing interest in the local scene, you’re in the gang; warm up here before seeing some live music at nearby Jiangjinjiu.

If you want a bar to feel more like home than your own place does, you’re in too. Just don’t bring everyone you know.
