Great to hang out
They renovated the place for the better. There's too many bars in the Sanlitun area but this one is a great place to hang and party.

Young crowd-good for a change
The crowd predominantly young feels good .
They care for the kind of music they play and take it seriousely .
I like the DJ.Drinks are fine and the location cool too.

need to go with a sober friend
Rooftop was indeed nice, the inner part was ok, but the bartenders charge you as much as they can, i found myself even haggling for me and my friends round.
Even after the haggling, the drinks were very expensive, after experiencing my first haggle on a bar, i regreted it and couldn't enjoy any more :(,I payed drinks to go home, if it wasn't for that i would be probably rating 4/5, but as it is, 1/5 is more than generous
I recomend to go with a sober friend so "stuff" like this doesn't happen

Meh. And don't count on getting change.
Was there Saturday night, also heard nothing about free drinks for ladies.
The renovations are nice, but the music is iffy-- we'd generally return to our seats every other song or so. And drinks had little variety, and few decent selections under 50 kuai.
Also, 8 of us had a table, and myself and a friend both ordered 48 kuai cocktails. I paid the waiter 100 yuan. Our cocketails came, but the 4 kuai in change never did. Granted, it's only 4 yuan, not really worth arguing over, but it does bother me that the staff is so dishonest as to not return 4 yuan in change. They weren't busy at this time, so I doubt my 4 yuan was simply "forgotten."

false information
I read of this website about free drink for ladies every saturday from 8 to 10 p.m. during March. But when we came yesterday, the waiter was surprised she let hear about this first time from us. I can buy drinks myself. Just i dont understand why do you write there untruth??

Drinks are good and cheap, music is danceable.
For Sanlintun, the prices on the drinks are good and the music is pretty good for Beijing. Just dont be a cheap ass like the previous poster and try to sneak in your own beer.
Funny how cheap people can get trying to be a baller on a budget...

Unfriendly Staff
Friends and I went here to hang out and get some drinks. Another friend and I had bought some RMB 3 beers from outside before coming in. They do have a policy of no outside drinks in the place which is fine, but the lady working in the bar just came over and snatched the beers away from us and threw them away and proceeded to give us this dirty look from hell... no warning no nothing. My friend was even in the middle of drinking his when it happened. I understand they have this policy so that we'd buy drinks from them, but our other friends had already been ordering drinks from them, and the lady just took it too far by not even warning or asking us as is usually the case at other bars. Will never ever go back.

Yummy drinks galore
Stumbled into Bar Blu one night for pre-clubbing drinks, and found a sweet deal in the Frozen Lychee Margarita. This drink was seriously one of the yummiest cocktails I’ve ever had, with real blended lychee fruit, lychee liqueur, rum, and other ingredients I can’t remember. The serving was large, and you could smell the aroma from a foot away. For some reason, people don’t show up here until after midnight, though I thought the music was good – mainstream American radio hits. Not exactly eclectic, “legit” music, but catchy all the same. Service was quick, friendly, and simple. Will return.

Great dance atmosphere. Bad value for money on drinks. 3 stars.
Music in Bar Blu is what defines Sanlitun clubs, especially on weekends. Although the dancing area is not that big, the atmosphere is great. But don't dare order anything to drink as you'll empty your pocket quickly! I think for a Tongli club, Bar Blu charges too much on drinks. So, the trick is to drink at other clubs downstairs and go to Bar Blu to dance. LOL Oh, WED quiz nights are fun, too. Just don't take it too seriously.

Best Dance Music around
Bar Blu has the best dance music. I know a lot of people like the underground music scene, but you can't really dance to that type of music. Bar Blue plays great pop, hip hop and r&b music, that you can really get loose too. There are few bars and clubs here that do and I love how bar Blu doesn't try to be pretentious and cool by acting like mainstream music is so lame like so many 'alternative' scenes do.

Protect your ears
Went with a bunch of friends on a weekday. Service was nothing to complain or revel about. However, the music was WAY too loud, especially considering the lack of noise from the sparsely filled room. There is no reason to blast music at such dangerous decibels to the point where you need to scream at the person next to you to make sure you're heard. I'm usually ok with the risk of damaging my eardrums as long as the music is good...totally not the case with this place.
