Pros:
- Unique atmosphere and live music gets punters in a good mood to mix with other patrons. Stays fun until late. Thursday night is good.
- Lounges good for chatting away from dancefloor.
- No model/actor types like the vain knobs paid to visit Suzie Wong.
- Met Dita Von Teese there Sat night. Good sort.

Cons:
- Too many 'pros' taking up real estate at the bar.
- Going to kill myself if I hear Bon Jovi one more time. Plus that blonde guitarist smiles too much.
- Staff are completely useless. Either spend more time & money training or hire some professional bartenders from HK / Singapore.
- Expensive. Good place to end the night, not start.

Conclusion: Beijing's bar scene would benefit from competition between more bars in the Lankwaifong / Xiu model. There's only so much 'solja boy' that a punter can take.
