2 Kolegas 两个好朋友

"Dos Kolegas," "Two Kolegas," "Two Good Friends" or "liangge hao pengyou"? No matter what you call it, this tiny bar lies deep in the heart of a drive-in complex and could be likened to your best friend's party basement - the friend whose parents were so cool that you could go over anytime, hang out, drink, smoke and play music for as long as you damn well pleased. And while your friend's parents probably kept their place cleaner and didn't heat the place with stinky coal, their yard probably wasn't as big. And there's no way that your friend had access to yangrou chuan'r like these or could lure so many bands - from jazz to experimental (2 Kolegas hosts experimental mogul Yan Jun's Waterland Kwanyin nights) - to play most nights of the week.

If you are feeling a bit blue in Beijing

2 Kolegas is one of my favorite places to go in Beijing for socializing, seeing great bands, and getting a cheap drink. I often go alone and leave meeting at least one or two new friends - this is the best place to find good people. Not to mention that the people who work here are hospitable and completely rad. Being in Beijing for only 2 months, this place has made me feel less homesick and provides even a better time than what i had at some venues in America.
Five stars guys, don't miss out on this place, for real.

Dos Kolegas is one of my favorite places in Beijing to see live music. Most of the local rock and electronic music acts make their way to play here so if you wait long enough you'll be able to catch them here on the east side of town.

Drink prices are affordable and the cover charge if any is not too much. The bar itself isn't terribly large and can get a bit hot and smoky at times but with a nice open grass field just outside you can take a breather between sets.

In the summertime sometimes there are mini-festivals here most often put on by the Tag Team Records guys. If they could just get Carsick Cars to play here once in awhile I'd be happy.
