Proving that Houhai can serve up a respectable clubbing night, this classy three-story venue features a DJ booth on the bottom floor with an imported sound system, a spacious bar area on the second and a very chill rooftop patio with a view of the lake.

Description

How to get there: From Jishuitan Subway Station take exit C, turn left (south direction) and take the next possible turn left again. Go straight until you reach the lake and follow the road for a slightly right turn. After 100m you will find Club Obiwan on your right hand-site.

Though the name implies otherwise, Club Obi Wan has nothing to do with “Star Wars.” It’s actually named after the bar in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Housed in a hutong off Jishuitan, this three-story affair is all dim red lighting and polished wooden floors, true to its classy namesake. Removed from the aggressive “marketing” of the Houhai pack, Obi Wan is comfy couches and spacious dance floors.

With DJ booths on two floors and an imported sound system, the club has ambition, hosting theme nights like the Capoeira party that went down last month, featuring a Brazilian group demonstrating the lethal dance art.

Obi Wan’s managers have over 20 years of nightlife experience in Europe and are intent on maintaining a high standard for both service and booze. Vodka shots (RMB15) are the real deal and the absinthe (RMB50) is imported from Germany. Cocktails (RMB30-45) have less ice, more booze and better mixology than your average Houhai dive.

There are no Jedi mind tricks or Chewbacca-dressed bartenders here, though your disappointment will be more than amply cushioned by their mean Long Island iced tea (RMB50). -Katherine Chan

Absolutely recommendable! Once you are there, just go to the rooftop patio and enjoy the awesome view over the lake while sipping a caipirinha. And if you need to exhaust your body in a fine way there is the dancing hall downstairs. Just follow your mood...

Absolutely love the movie nights. I go there every Thursday evening (movie starts @ 20:00h). Usually good selection; it is nice and cosy, there is always a special dinner menu themed according to the projected film. Tasty food but a little overpriced as well as the drinks (mixers are 40RMB, set menu is 60RMB). Good deal...

Cool place to hangout, though getting there and out after hours is a bit of a walk, especially in the winter time. But overall a must-go.

This is my favorite club in Beijing! I like it because it's laid back and the people who go there are fun and easy going. The DJs are good and the lights are kicking! The dance club is small, but cozy and you can enjoy the second level of couches and the rooftop for a quieter experience. Speaking of how to get there, the best way is to take the subway to Jishuitan and go out exit C turn left and go down the first alley to the left. Follow that road to the right and you will see the place on the right with the lake on the left. Go there!!
