Just east of Nanluoguxiang, Mao Mao Chong is a the perfect escape from Beijing's flashy bar districts.

New Mao Mao Chong Bar Pizza now open!
Mao Mao Chong has closed its Wu Dao Ying Hutong doors and moved to our new bar in Ban Chang Hutong, just off Nan Luo Gu Xiang. The new location is a larger version of the old one, set in a traditional Beijing house with rustic, high-beamed ceiling complemented by a modern concrete and wooden bar, modern artworks and lighting, giving a relaxed homely atmosphere while still being a cool bar. Still the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Beijing’s flashy bar districts.
At the new Ban Chang location we also offer delicious Italian style thin crust pizza. Leek and blue cheese, pancetta and broccoli, potato, caramelized onion and rosemary are just some of our delicious pizzas on the menu.
We’ve also updated the drinks menu with some new mouth watering cocktails, more beers, warm naughty nightcaps and lots of delicious non-alcoholic concoctions.
Drop by and check it out.

Fantastic bar just off Nanluoguxiang.
Non-pretentious, inviting atmosphere, with solid bartending and gregarious ownership.
An excellent drink menu, which features home-infused vodkas (try the Roolbus or Oolong for a treat) and a good selection of Aussie beers. The drinks are strong (The Mao Mao Chong Martini tastes good, but packs a hellacious punch) and are very reasonably priced.
This place has quickly become one of my favorite bars in Beijing...

Very good place, good drinks and cheap (no fake), relaxing athmospher, you are sure to meet easy going people there :)
Owners are friendly, play the music you want, know a lot about attractions in beijing
It's a good place for residents in beijing after a hard day working but also for a traveler who want to meet local and make friends or need some good advise to visit beijing and china.

A hidden gem with great music, self-designed good quality t-shirts and great home made infused vodka.

Nestled in amongst this little street and beautiful hutongs, you will find 2 of the best hosts around and some great drinks! Really impressed with how they have designed the bar so it fits in with the surrounding area and hutongs.
The best Vietnamese coffee I have had outside of Hanoi (try it with a nip of whiskey).

During my stay of 5 days in Beijing, I bounced on this little bar named Mao Mao Chong. The owners were very helpfull and friendly, making my stay in Beijing a new experience I will never forget. They gave me some insight of the city, tips on how to travel, where to travel, just some help for somebody in need.
Like we use to say in Holland: " klein maar fijn!", meaning something like 'small but fine', I would definately suggest this little place to others... Cheers folks :-)

After I've been to few bars in Bei Jing, I have to say I finally found this bar special.
Mao Mao Chong Bar & Shop is owned by an Australian Guy. He designed everything himself. By looking at this bar, I really appreciate all his hard work, because he kept the original si he yuan design, and it reminds me the old bei jing.
The lights, the wall etc. everything just very traditional, and he put the bar and a shop together, which I only saw this in Hong Kong. Plus he made all the furniture, they are just very comfortable.
I bought a very nice traditional Ladies top from him, and I had a very nice cup of Vietnamese coffee. It's been a long while I had a good day at a place like that.
Good customer service is the most important thing. From this place, I got a smile from the boss, and they are just friendly. Another thing is amazed me is they organized some events like Mahjong lessons, Free Chinese Lessons, the reasons of setting up these events are: 1. they want to teach the expats something traditional. 2. they want to help the expats out with their living in China.
The shop has got cold t-shirts, and very nice drink and of course the respect for the customers.

Mao’s Metamorphosis
Mao Mao Chong’s re-launch near Nanluoguxiang marks a metamorphosis for the venue and one of the most exciting openings of 2010. Beers start at ¥13 and the specialty cocktails are superb and reasonably priced. Try the MMC martini—tequila, Grand Marnier, honey-infused vodka, fresh ginger and lime (¥35). Now in a large, converted hutong home, MMC has room for art on the walls, skylights and comfortable seating. A former chef at an Italian restaurant in Melbourne, owner Stephen Rocard also makes delicious pizzas with hearty homemade crusts (¥15-55).
