Review of What Bar
I recently have been in a nice cozy bar in the Hutongs. From the outside you could walk by without noticing :-) But if you look closer, you'll see the sign over the entrance, written “WHAT？! BAR 什么“. That bar is the only live music rock bar with an atmosphere of ancient architecture I have seen yet.
On Fridays and Saturdays they have lokal and sometimes international Bands playing Rock, Folk, Ska or Britpop (around 9pm). It's definetly not the normal "softpop" you can hear somewhere else. Normally there are 2 or 3 Bands playing each night. The entrance fee is around 30 RMB but includes a drink for 20 RMB.
During the afternoon it is a nice place to chill. You are also welcome to try out your music skills with the bandequipment of that bar...
I came to the bar by underground: You exit at Tiananmen West, Exit B, then turn right - into the nan(south) chang jie (Street). Walk 15 minutes (about 1 km) - it'll change name into bei(east)changjie (Street).
Later I saw that the Bus No. 5 stopps close to the bar as well (Busstop is: Xihuamen 西华门)

In my opinion this review system is here for customers, to give reviews about Bars they have visited and to share their experiences, good or bad; not for the marketing staff of the bar to write fake reviews just to make them look better. And even if you do that, you could at least have the decency not to give you a perfect 5 star review.
When I was young I used to pray for a bike. Then I realized that God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.
For every day in heaven, you get one in hell.
