Sanlitun North Area

The taxi will usually want to drop you off at the entrance to Bar Street (Sanlitun Lu) which is at the south of the map.  To walk to the top of this map will take about 10 minutes if you walk quickly.  As you walk down the main street you will be hassled by people telling you how good their bar is and that you should go and take a seat.  This is just the locals way of doing business.  You may also be approached by beggars, flower sellers, dvd sellers and other such things.  Its all part of the experience, but be warned, if you do give money to one beggar, more will arrive quickly.

In general it is real difficult to distinguish many of the bars in this area.  We particularly recommend the following bars ..  Ninja Cafe (very quiet, good Japanese food available), Comma (small and fun) , Public Space (quiet and classy, good coffee), Swing 58 (nice food & entertainment).  In the future we intend to have full reviews of every bar.
