The InterContinental Beichen didn’t get overly creative with The Bar – name or otherwise. It’s a convenient drop-in if you live in the area or happen to be a guest in the hotel. Singers and musicians perform nightly to the handful of suits lounging around the circular venue. There are standard cocktails and signature drinks themed after nearby Olympic venues. The “Water Cube” is a charming concoction of lychee and Blue Curacao, while the “Bird’s Nest” is vodka, watermelon juice and Red Bull. You can try both at The Bar’s daily 5-9pm happy hour.
