Obiwan
With a large roof terrace overlooking placid Xihai (Houhai’s sleepier cousin), Obiwan is a natty little bar in which to unravel away an afternoon and make a night of it. The bar is expansive but not expensive and the selection is varied, from Tsingtao (RMB 10) to a cheeky Campari and soda (RMB 35).

Review of Obiwan
If you can find the place you will amply rewarded with a unique Beijing experience.
Sunday is the best time to go. Why?
Free (while they last) drumsticks hot off the outdoor grill and no fake booze.
10 kuai Qingdao bottles are no longer on offer. Beer starts at 15 then slides to 20 Kaui on weekends. Tiger and draft is on offer, I recommend the consistently excellent mojito's.
All in all the lake, and the tasty bbq make for a perfect Sunday afternoon. Some nice dub and reggae from the Meiwenti crew add to the 'on vacation' vibe.
