Boasting dark wood paneling and floor to ceiling windows offering an eyeful of Houhai, this small jazz dive defines rugged sophistication. Started by Liu Yuan, Cui Jian's former saxophonist, it's the most authentic jazz joint in town, featuring top acts from Thursday to Sunday.

the live jazz music at East Shore is really engaging. one of the few greatest jazz places you can get in beijing. 2 weeks ago, a german bold guy playing piano was fantastic! drumer is cool. bass player has a funky smile. we have been visiting every Sunday night.

I generally try to go to East Shore when I can, if I don't have set plans and am with a small group of friends who are real 'serious' music lovers.
I do enjoy East Shore's eclectic line-up, and its best to check out who is playing before you go, if you are particular about your live music like I am.
That being said, East Shore is a favourite haunt of some of the more dynamic and progressive musical outfits around Beijing. From funky grooves with R'n'B infusions to ambient music bordering Free jazz, its definitely a place created with the musician in mind.

not only offering great jazz, this place boasts one of the best views of HouHai. sitting in the corner overlooking the lake through the large picture window with the smooth tones of piano and jazz bass flowing over you and a great drink in your hand... a nice way to spend an evening :)

I had an excellent experience at this jazz club, and my only complaint is that it would do well with some new furniture, and of course smoke-ban, which is unlikely beyond belief.
The musicians were absolutely great, and the environment was cozy and pleasant. Can be recommended.

Good traditional jazz-bar atmosphere, music was also fine. But it was way too smoky, my eyes were hurting after 30 min. I gotta say that it is nothing special...

best place for jazz lovers in beijing... even the drinks r not really diluted.. :)

A great place for music lovers, and surely the best place for live jazz in the city. A fantastic vibe and enthusiastic performances. My only gripe is that service can be really really slow. Order two drinks at once is my advice.
Don't know what's changed, but on the three occasions I've been there's been no smoke problem.

And the beat goes on Thursday - Monday this place keeps the pace with live jazz performances. Some range from inspirational, to downright formulaic. Get there and listen for yourself.
