Aperitivo is nothing to write home about as a bar, but it's a convenient, pleasant enough place to stop in for a drink either by day or night.
The outdoor seating is probably its most appealing aspect, especially in the warmer months. The outdoor area is ringed by bushes, which gives some shelter from the hurly burly of Sanlitun Hou Jie, while still allowing enough of a view to provide visual entertainment. And there's always something entertaining, whether it's the international drug dealers, the 15 year-old drunks or the locals out for a bit of fisticuffs on a Saturday night.
The drinks selection is nothing special, but beverages are reasonably priced and if you're just looking for something standard like a local beer you can't go wrong.
Not a place I generally plan to hang out in, but a very handy spot to drop in to if I'm in the area and feeling dry.
