On one hand, this place tends to bring more of the bigger and well-known bands from abroad, which is always nice. The sound system is pretty solid as well. On the other hand, drinks are expensive and not terribly impressive (25 bones for a Tsingtao? Come on...) and the place gets a bit too packed at times, especially when there's a big band in town (see reviews of the Peaches concert). Nevertheless, not a shabby place to catch some of the bigger concerts that happen to pass through Beijing.
