Opened by the people behind one of Beijing's best-loved nightclubs (Banana), Coco Banana drew on years of experience to make their opening night on April 2006 one of the most memorable events of the year.

In terms of design and the interior, Coco Banana has followed in the footsteps of its sister venue, Banana, and that of its neighbours on Gongti Xilu. The club has that cookie cutter feeling to it; big square bar strategically placed near the entrance, tables and chairs on the periphery of the dancefloor with booths taking up the back wall of the club.

Where it does differ from other venues is in its size and its own sense of style. We like the go-go dancers-particularly the she/male who drips with funky attitude. We also like the podiums that make the dancers look like they're strutting their stuff inside a water tank.

Most of all we like the fact that after months of delays and speculation over their original opening date, Coco Banana kicked off with none other than dutch DJ Tiesto, who was one of the few DJs that chinese club-goers are familiar with in this city. Much like its sister venue Banana, Coco Banana has the ability to draw people in seven nights a week and is even favored by celebrities like the Black Eyed Peas.
