Having been going to propaganda(ppg) for on and off 3 years now i think its quite fitting i write the first review.

Of course im in love with the place otherwise i wouldnt have gone there for so long time.

but i started to notice its changing.

anyway for those who have never been there:

2 floors with upper floor being a bar like place and the lower floor housing the dancefloor.

Its directly connected to a bar called Labamba which takes up the 2 floors above it. You can get happy hour drinks there and mexican/italian okay fingerfood(nothing amazing but does the job).

Note: When the weather is nice the whole area outside ppg is crowded with people too(there is a 7-11 next door for those too cheap to buy drinks inside, and a pizza place).

You can buy 串 and that cheap street hotpot outside too.

So lets talk about the place:

The whole place is more for students and NOT for people who are already working. so there are way less tables (probably no more then 10 on both floors) then in other clubs.

The age group is also way lower, so dont bother if you are above 30. Perfect is around 20. you might even see 15 years old in there on some occasions.

So who goes there?
Students from the area around. Mostly koreans and foreigeners and chinese girls that want to make first experiences.

The good and the bad:

Cheap cheap booze.
bad: really fake and really gives you the worst of headaches.

friday/saturday: supercrowded.
bad: Cant move or dance... SOO crowded.

Easy girls.
bad: young stupid and really annoying unexperienced chicks. for serious girls: every idiot who wouldnt DARE to talk to you back home .... in ppg he is hiting on you....

GOOOOOOD HIPHOP. basically there is no alternative to ppg in beijing if you want good hiphop.
bad: sometimes at night they let the rookie DJ take over... which might end up in 1-2 hours of crap music...

Free entrance................ if your caucasian or female.
expect to pay up to 100-200 kuai if your not(some drink coupons included).

Wednesday： Open bar night for 80 kuai/30 kuai. more if you look asian.
BAD: a lot of wasted people puking everywhere.

So why is it changing?

Way less fights then before. i remember when fights where the most common thing ever and you could pound on the other guys face for like 5 minutes before the first security guy even showed up. NOW you wont be able to start at all because the security will already be there "escorting" you out.
GOOD (?)

The guys/girls level is getting realllllly bad recently(the last... 3-5 months). Expect to be dancing with a 5 vs 1 ratio at about 1am. so if you go there for a a girl... go early or dont bother. whats left at 2 is left there for a good reason.

If this stays this way.... god that would suck.... really hard....

so to end it... amazing place IF you fit in :)
