Opened by two serious bartenders, George and Echo, this hopping lounge serves some of the city's finest and most innovative cocktails. The upscale, hip décor is complemented by eclectic house and nu jazz tunes thrown by credible, local DJs. The rooftop terrace is an ideal spot for an open-air drink on summer nights.

One of Q Bar's top selling points is the deck. On a nice summer night the view is fantastic, the vibe great, and the drinks solid.
Well... during the winter its still a great destination, even without the deck. The interior bar has a cool atmosphere, with everything from cozy couches to barfly stools and decent standing room. On a crowded night, once it gets busy, it can get a little tight, but what bar doesn't have that problem?
The real draw, though, are the drinks. I contend that Q Bar serves some of the finest cocktails in town, and I'll put Echo up against any bartender I know when it comes to an old-school martini. Hers are the best, hands-down. I think I have a crush on her just for her skills with a shaker.
George is a great bar manager, and the two of them make everyone feel at home. The staff are efficient, polite and well-trained, and can all make top-notch drinks. This place has been on my Top 5 for awhile, but right now its sitting firmly in the #1 position...

Totally rocks

Been going here since it first opened. Over the last couple of months service and drinks have gotten gradually worse, which is disappointing as I initially enjoyed the atmosphere on the patio and have recommended it to friends looking for something different. Q Bar was good, but now there are better options in and outside Sanlitun. This bar really does not deserve the reputation it currently enjoys. Also, they seemed to have started to use the same music playlist as Rickshaw and Tun, meh.

I'm suspicious of any bar where the desserts are better than the cocktails.
The music is too loud to hold a conversation and its quality varies to almost bipolar levels. Nice terrace, though.
Basically it's a spot where the kids from sanlitun go to when they want to feel hip and classy.

good ideas for drinks and as good as it can get. but if asking for some hints/tips george and echo should not be so closed up, you can always stay the notch ahead

Nice place to sit down have a chat with friends while you are enjoying the best daiquiri in Beijing.

after having my own bar, I realize how difficult it is to run a night time business. So, George and Echo, great job!

Wasn't very good. Service was poor/rude. We had to argue for 10 minutes with the waiter because he made a mistake with the order and didn't want to lose face!
太烦人了！
If you want expensive drinks and nice decor, go to a hotel bar.

one of my fave bars in town. head for the bar seat, head for the outdoor, head for the other seats inside, or just standing and chatting with friends, theyre all fine. nice drink. nice music. nice ambiance there. the fuwuyuans are nice. so far never had problems with service either in busy or not busy time. i have listed q bar in my to-go-list a lot of times this summer for their terrace experience.

My favorite bar for a few cocktails. The cocktails are definitely worth the money, they are mixed like they should be and of course they use the real spirits. A couple of cocktails don't come in the right glass though, but what the f@#$. The atmosphere is very comfortable, when you are able to get one of the cushy couches or a seat on the rooftop. I think even the restrooms should be mentioned, the play in the premiere league, spacious, clean and matching the interior design. Another great thing about Q bar is that music is not too loud, as it is in so many other places. I was there last Sunday and it was really packed, but the service was quick and friendly, didn't need to wait long for the drinks.

I'm lowering my rating. Despite my stellar rating my recent visit to Qbar on a Thursday night when they were packed made me realize just how terrible their service is (I've only ever been when it's quiet). Unbelievably, my friend was told that she had to wait 30 minutes for her cosmopolitan, and I, if I wanted any consecutive-ness in my drinking had to order my drinks two at a time to ensure that I wouldn't be waiting 20 minutes for a simple gin and tonic. They need to step up or they're going to lose a lot of business.

I found the cocktails ok, but deco was something else though, red hot color and nice terrace, perfect for summer time. Now if only they have more cocktail tables inside would just be ABSOLUTELY great.

The cocktails are not as good as I expected! Just better than the other local bars like poachers, boys & girls...

Definitely one of my favorite bars in town. Great atmosphere, deeeelicious drinks, and to top it off, they have a rooftop, which is so key this time of year. Haven't tried their food yet but at the rate they're going, it's bound to be nothing less than stellar.

I recently tried some of Q bar's new food offerings and was very, very impressed. The yogurt with berries and wine reduction was fabulous, as were the chicken shish kabobs with avocado sauce, and the bagel plate. I am really looking forward to summer nights on Q bar's terrace, even more so now that there's more to eat than just peanuts.

I agree with the first reviewers : BEST COCKTAILS IN TOWN!! And the decor is very classy and comfortable.

I personally blame Echo and the rest of the fabulous bartenders for my current struggles with alcoholism.
;) (just kidding, really)

Definately nice design. I love the lamps above the bar:) Cocktails were all right but not as good as I expected them to be for the price of 50 RMB. Too bad but the place doesn't have a vibe, something is missing...

Parties have picked up at Q Bar as the weather gets better. Q Bar's 1st anniversary party on Jun 10 featured Jamaican BBQ and sunshine reggae vibes on the terrace by Upstepper Sound, and two more daytime bbq/music events are in the works: Sunday July 8 with Syndicate Drum & Bass crew Sunday July 22 with Upstepper Sound - Jamaican bbq, roots reggae. Entry is free, 4pm start

they don't mix a bad website either How often do they host parties? Or is it a chill cocktail place?
-

best cocktails and best location not only the best cocktails, also the best bartenders. it's really interesting to read something about echo and george on their website http://www.qbarbeijing.com. I really like them very much and I feel always very comfortable when one of them is mixing my next drink.

Best cocktails in town This place is indeed amazing for cocktails. Not only are the cocktails as various as tasty but, over and above, they look perfect. Echo and George mind every detail. Another good thing about Q Bar: it (still?) offers great value. Personal favorite: Long Island Ice Tea. You feel like chilling out while sipping on a great cocktail: Q Bar would be my recommendation.
