Tiny Salt Coffee Club
Hidden among offi ce blocks and restaurants, this new bar is also a welcome addition to the Capital’s list of decent-sized music venues. Owner Qiao Xiaodao, who also happens to be a folk singer and interior designer for Jiangjinjiu Bar, has been inviting fellow bands and artists to perform here on weekends. You can even rock the stage yourself by hiring the venue for a private party for your closest 300 friends. However, Tiny Salt Coffee Club serves a different purpose for city commuters who want to avoid rush hour traffic; every day, from 6pm onwards, Hollywood blockbusters play out on the big screen. With its high ceilings and furniture designed in a South- east Asian style, the space is reminiscent of the warehouses in 798. What’s more, Tsingtaos are sold at a pocket-friendly RMB 8.

Review of Tiny Salt Coffee Club
Tiny Salt is a nice little place with a friendly vibe. Once you enter you forget that you are in a SOHO. Music quality varies, but is always interesting. Nice staff, cheap drinks.

Review of Tiny Salt Coffee Club
The venue is dedicated to folk music and acoustic sets.I've been there quite a lot recently since it's a place to hang around after work because one, it's in SOHO Shangdu, and two, the drinks are reasonably priced.
Also a great little place upstairs where you can hide away from the music and talk without disturbing the audience downstairs.

Review of Tiny Salt Coffee Club
Saw Mamer play here a few weeks back and was really impressed by the quality of the venue.
The English name evokes a sort of diminutive place that does not really sound like it could possibly have enough room for a proper live music show, and it is in a mall, so I was turned off for a long time and missed a few shows that sounded nice. How presumptuous and wrong I was. Thought the venue is very intimate, it is big enough to fit at least 50 comfortably, with a lot of really nice, comfortable nookish seating. Actually seems like it would be a nice to relax and or work in the afternoon.
The sound is good, too. Drinks are reasonably priced. Lots of interesting cds for sale.
A little bit of a quest to find for the first time, but the fact that Soho Shangdu is not at full occupancy lends the place a really charming oasis-of-groove-in-the-commercial-desert feeling.
