工体东门10-11,工体,Stadium Dog里面
Hidden behind a grey faux brick wall inside Stadium Dogs, this secret speakeasy serves impeccably mixed drinks and specialty cocktails at very reasonable prices. The sleek red and black décor coupled with vintage jazz tunes give Beijing's in-the-know revelers the impression they've entered a sublimely classy joint from a bygone era.
Awesome place to have a nice drink and chatting with friends. Good service and good drinks
Greate place, but a little expensive for me ...
Great bar. Chad is awesome. The service is excellent. The music is good and not too loud. Seats are comfortable. Mojitos are delicious, but last weekend I discovered that Fubar might also have the best white russians in the city -- they're RMB40 and about twice as big as all the other bars where I've had white russians (Cheers, Souk, Bar Blu, Alfa) and taste really special (extra kahlua? Or cream? Not sure). Except for super crowded nights, this place is always at the top of my list.
Killer mojitos, efficient service, great background music, just crowded enough on weekdays and packed on weekends. Although the concept of keeping the cocktail glasses is fun, it's somehow embarassing having to explain to your ayi why there are so many penis -shaped on the kitched counter.
Like this place as not too crowded specially on weekdays till Thursday .Good to get a friend to catch up while enjoying some cocktails. I like the overall setting, the lighting.I avoid this place on weekends as if one or two large groups the whole place has too many people. The waitstaff are prompt.
I'm really not quite sure what everyone finds so enthralling about this bar. Nice decor, easy on the eye. A relaxing atmosphere. But apart from the novely door, an attempt to create the illusion of a speak-easy, there is not much else. While the drinks are good, though a little over-priced beyond happy hour which ends at 9pm, this venue is just a magnet for trendy expats. The bar is exceedingly smoky with little or no air conditioning. Even for a smoker this made the evening uncomfortable. The western style toilets are clean however. Not terrible, but not outstanding either.
great little bar, only bad thing is they let you keep the buddha glasses. it takes all the fun out of stealing them!
Friendly owner - Chad, good music, interesting deco and good looking glasses. Good presentation! Would be great if it has some none-alcoholic drinks! :)
best bar in salitun and the surrounding area..
The atmostphere is quite good ,it makes you feel cool. The drinks are good. Great to get a friend to unwind.
I was there for new year. Unfortunately their Stereo System failed at some point. But besides that it was a lot of fun (busy but not super crowded). The thing that I remember most is that I was served a warm beer, went back to complain, they said they are out of cold beers and it will take some time for cooling new ones. However, they not only took my warm beer back, they also gave me a free Gin and Tonic while waiting for a cold beer. That was so far the best service I have experienced in Beijing, so full points from me.
great hidden bar, cheap drink, and just perfect to hang out
Hands down the best spot to go with a group of friends. Great drinks, cool atmosphere. The owner, Chad, really understands customers, you'll never have a problem at his place. Also a great place to bring an out of town guest. The coolness of finding a bar that's hidden and has no signage will make them feel that they've really gone local. The fact that they are certainly drinking genuine Stella and not a fake knockoff will protect them from the stomach cramps that they'd feel if they really had gone local ;)
Great drinks, the Hot toddies there are awesome, especially in this cold! cool atmosphere and just a great overall hangout spot.
A great hidden spot. Drinks are well made with quality alcohol and are reasonably priced. Fun take home glasses of a Buddha and Fu Manchu are great souvenirs. The mojitos are especially tasty.
Excellent little bar. I love the entrance and whole prohibition styling. Drinks are well priced and well mixed. Service is fast and efficient and the whole place is very relaxed. A great place to try if you are looking something different.
FUBAR is one of those perfect little bars that you want to tell the world about... but almost hate to do, because you fear it'll end up overrun and ruin the vibe. "Hidden" in the bowels of Stadium Dog, itself tucked away inside Worker's Stadium (Gonti Dongmen gate), you enter FUBAR by heading towards Stadium Dog's bathroom... and then mashing a button on the wall, which opens the wall, revealing the entrance. That's it... no signage, no bouncer, no hawkers. This old-school, speakeasy-style, entry sets the tone from the start. The bar itself is relatively small, but in an intimate and not cramped way. There's a bar level, a second level above it, and then a back room with couches. Drinks are big, strong, and benefit heavily from quality house pours. A default G&T is made with Bombay Saphire - 30 kuai. Ditto a house vodka tonic - 42 Below vodka... 30 kuai. Mixed drinks and martinis are also made with top-shelf pours, and run 50 kuai or so. Though its owned by some of the former manager of TUN, Rickshaw and (I think) Luga's, its got very little in common with those locales. FUBAR's ambience is jazz and lounge music, friendly people, and good drinks. When I try to think of a comparable bar, I think of CENTO. Very different vibes, mind you, but competing for the same mindspace. You don't go to FUBAR to shake your butt or drink shots of pirate rum... its a good place to go to hang with friends, or unwind after work, or "prime the pump" before clubbing. It'd be a perfect place for a "business drink" with a colleague, or a first date drink with a girl, as you can actually hear yourself drink, and the vibe is classy. I've never had them, because I'm pretty much a vodka/bourbon guy (best jack&coke in town, for RMB 40), but I'm told the mojito is outstanding, and there are several cocktails that come in these crazy mugs - one's a giant buddha, and the other's a tall fu manchu looking thing. You take the mug home with you. Anyhow... currently my favorite bar in Beijing, for a combination of quality booze, value, vibe, and professional management.
One of the chillest places to have a drink in Beijing Their mojitos are pure danger in a glass. As in like "I'm just having one with my friends to unwind on a Wednesday and suddenly I've had three and it's 2am on a Thursday" kind of danger in a glass. Great 1-2 punch with Stadium Dog.
Fantastic spot. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Love the buddha cocktails served in ceramic buddhas.
