Small and cozy, like stepping into someone’s living room, this bar has an interesting selection of drinks and is decorated beautifully with second hand furniture. Amilal has a lot of character and is different from the mainstream bars in Beijing. Occasionally live music.
good
A very cozy hutong bar just off Gulou Dongdajie (but very easy to miss). I like the interior with its wooden Chinese doors and frames and dim lighting. It's almost got a poetic, scholarly vibe.
