Sanlitun Closings: Harry's Bar, The Corner

Popular Sanlitun back street mojito purveyor Harry's Bar and its front restaurant The Corner are closing due to a dispute with the landlord, according to Harry Liu, the owner of Harry's Bar.

Liu told the Beijinger an unspecified contract violation had led to the lease's cancellation, but added he hoped to find a new venue shortly.

Both venues were just finding a regular following, both for inexpensive, but tasty drinks and for solid pub food. The Corner was recently included as a newcomer in the first round of the Beijinger Burger Cup 2013 and even advanced to the second round.
