Me and my german colleague just wanted to get away from the hotel on a sunday night, we googled a few places but choose Q-Bar and we are very glad that we did, after a bit of looking around we found the place on the 6th floor of the Eastern Inn hotel. We were met by smiles and great quality and service. When we was about to leave I wanted to tip but that was almost impossible, all in all a great place with awesome service.

Went to Q Bar last night with a few friends. I was trying to show some out-of-towners one of the best outdoor bars in Beijing. But the patio was closed for some unknown reason so we were sitting inside on a sofa. We ordered a round of cocktails, generally the drinks were nothing to write home about and service was slow even there were only a couple of tables at the time. Business picked up around 10:30 while we were into our second round of drinks. Something unthinkable happened - we were served with the bill which we never called for and our glasses were still half full. I asked the waitress why she sent us the bill, her answer was "the bar may be busy later". Excuse me? But we are not done yet! "You can stay longer if you want!" Thanks, but no thanks! Rushing customer is never a practice of a decent bar or restaurant. I am truly disappointed about this place.

If this is the best martini in Beijing, I'm moving to Ulan Bator.

This place was deserted at 9pm on their much lauded martini nights. No mood music. No glamourous crowd. No buzz. We braved the elements outside to try to make the best of the evening. Dead silence except for the freezing crickets.

Then the confusion over our drinks. My client was only interested in having one glass for his night cap. At the door the staff confirmed it was 50% off each drinks. The menu then states that you will have to get the minimun of two glass (for the price of one). Imagine my shock when we were billed twice for a drink we didn't want in the first place. To their credit, their manager resolved the matter to our satisfaction but not before leaving a bad taste that marred our experience.

My client could barely taste the vodka in his martini which was strangely served with olives AND lemon. My Hendricks was weaker than baby formula. I've had far better ones at Blue Frog and Fubar at half the price.

I don't intend to return to be cramped into that smoky dingy bar this winter. Not for these drinks.

good drinks, nice place, bit pricy, but thats normal.

a pity they had to cover the side walls with the red walls..
The view is gone.
But the seatings and the rest is great.

good service..

The first time I went here, I was really thrown off. The bar is located on the 6th or whichever floor of a really random, small hotel. At first I thought I had to be in the wrong place because I'd heard so much about Q Bar, I couldn't believe it could be in such a random location.

The service is OK. I ordered a light dinner and they got my order wrong -- brought me some sort of dessert instead of food, and insisted it was what I'd ordered. Got them to change it finally without too much of a problem though. The food was just OK but that's not what you go there for; you go there for the drinks.

I forget what i ordered, some sort of orange mixed drink, but it was actually very good. They actually use the good thick sugar and you can tell the difference. My friend enjoyed his drinks as well, though good luck finding any mixed drink less than 50 kuai.

The outdoor terrace is the best part. It's huge, with lots of tables, couches, chairs. A great place to go with a sizable group to enjoy the breezes (now if only there were ever a non-polluted air day on which to enjoy it)!

I go here for the rooftop terrace and martinis. The best deal is on Wednesdays when the martinis are half off (note: half off vs buy one get one; i.e. if you are a light-weight like me - thanks "Asian glow" - you can pay 35 kuai for a lychee martini).

Don't bother with the lamb skewers (mint dipping sauce is tasty, but meat was teeny and overcooked). The portion of hummus is skimpy and the quesadillas were quite curious. The chocolate mousse hits the spot, though, so long as you're a fan of a hint of chili in your chocolate (I personally prefer curry chocolate - yeah, weird - but the chili one can do for now).

Beware the enclosed rooms - very very stinky and dirty.

Happy mid-week drinking!

very good drinks. nice setting

The place can be quite nice if you are out sitting in the open space of the bar out.

But if there is no breeze that particular day ,change to the inside place as the airconditioner will take care of summer.

Overall good experience .The foreign manager /waiter was good to understand what we need.

Not a upscale bar though.Just good for catching up with friends.

If you want to impress someone , not this place.

Drinks are good and reasonably priced.

Is not cold anymore, sand storms, pollen storms and all the possible storms are over. Finally its QBar time, its getting warmer in Beijing, the best moment to take a date into that classic rooftop, a great place to relax, enjoying darkness and good cocktails. Average price as most of the cocktail places in Beijing, but with a terrific atmosphere and music
