Here we were, wandering the streets of Beijing near our hotel as we spend our last week in China before returning to our home in Mexico. We see the Kro's Nest but it looks like it is closed... no DOOR.... so we had noodles for dinner... the next day while wandering I saw a girl press a button like a door bell and lo... THE DOOR OPENED! So later that night while walking back to our hotel I told my wife... "Watch this!" and I pressed the button... and in we go!

The place was packed - Quiz night and all were merry... we immediately meet Marty, one of three working partners who seated us and then Kro, who turned out to be a very charming young man of 28 or so.... with increadable charm (I watched him "escort" a gentelman who was on the verge of becoming a major problem out of the club and made the customer happy on the way out!) Marty turns out to have a solid background in the hospitality field with strong restaurant experience. The third partner I met was a lovely young Chinese lady who's name I have sadly forgotten....

As an "expats" meeting area, the Kro's Nest is darn near perfect. While all staff I encountered spoke English, I heard German and French conversations going on....The crowd was mixed age wise and "country of origin" with lots of locals involved also... so what started out as a "quick look-see" ended up a stay until closing time. The anouncement of "closing" was as novel as the rest of the evening... Kro shouts out "Drink up folks - I want to go see my girlfriend!" and within minutes people where filing out of the club!

I can say without a doubt, that we went from STRANGERS to FRIENDS in a matter of mear minutes!!! I recogmend this club to any first time Beijingers or locals who want a fun and relaxed evening!
