Chill Bar

Friendly service, great atmosphere. not to be missed! We spent 3 evenings there, drinking Belgian beer, during September. The owners did a very good job renovating the place, the music is nice and not too loud, and prices are reasonable. We were told they will cover the yard and install a fire place during the winter!

Discovered this gem of a bar during an expat Halloween party last week. SO MUCH FUN! This place has comfy couches, a fireplace, indie music, an amazing selection of international beers (I put myself on the list for DPRK beer the next time they get a shipment--I suggest you do the same), delicious melty cheesy crusty paninis, and perhaps the best Belgian waffles to be found in Beijing (secret ingredient = gobs of butter). Such a breath of fresh air after all those Sanlitun bars.The guys who run the bar are super cute and friendly, and at one point in the night a girl even bellydanced on the bar. I almost want to keep this place a secret but we really need more places like this around Andingmen/Wudaoying. This would actually be a great place to have a relaxing lunch and get some work done in the afternoon. Hmmm maybe this is where I should have my birthday party in a few weeks! Oh, Chill is also super easy to find. It's basically the second set of red lanterns at the southwest corner of Andingmen qiao, and getting a cab from here is no problem.
