NEW BARS: Tun Bar (Sanlitun)
A Real Tun On
Tun Bar is difficult to describe both in terms of its location and composition. Tucked away in Cross Club's rear parking lot, Tun has the feel of a mafia hideout, complete with a heavily padded front door and dimly-lit antechamber. Created by the nightlife moguls behind Nanjie, Tun shares its sister bar's affordably priced drinks, with Qingdaos costing a mere ¥15 and a tray of 12 mini shooters available for ¥100. More refined drinkers can sip on a wide range of well-mixed “Girl Drinks” and specialty cocktails (¥25-35) or pints of Stella and Hoegaarden draught (¥35). With a massive projector screen that takes up an entire wall, an open pool table and dart board as well as a fortress-like DJ booth and upstairs lounging area, Tun is an odd mix of traditional wood-panelled sports bar, 1970s English gentleman's club and sleek, booty-shaking dance hall. In an area teeming with cheap, generic bars, Tun Bar distinguishes itself by offering something for everyone.
