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.
Entero has a good selection of Scotch and Japanese single malts as well as bourbon and cocktails. The atmosphere is laid-back and its one of the few places where its comfortable to sit at the bar for long stretches of time. Entero will score well with music lovers with the option of watching videos of blues and jazz legends in the main bar, or heading into the private karaoke room to make some music of your own. I always look forward to the 29th of every month. That's when Entero, a Japanese whisky bar, invites a Japanese butcher to prepare the most tender steaks you've ever tasted. The steak set comes with a side of bean sprouts, vegetable or miso soup and rice, and at only 50 RMB it is one of the best deals in town.
Ichikura's impressive selection of top-shelf single malt whiskeys and other fine spirits may make it Beijing's best bar for the whiskey-phile. The bar's clientèle is primarily Japanese, though a number of whiskey-savvy Westerners frequent it as well.
Fantastic spot. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Love the buddha cocktails served in ceramic buddhas.
Tucked away in a courtyard off Gulou Dongdajie, this cozy courtyard bar offers a quiet, intimate setting to enjoy the company of friends. Enjoy a drink from an impressive selection of international bees, whiskies and wines while chatting up the in-the-know Gulou hipsters.
With only a mysterious, red-lit door marking it, Ball House is a gem of a space carved out of an old loft and is frequented by artists and B-level celebs. With four foosball tables and three pool tables (not free), it cultivates a chill, living room feel.
