Hidden among office blocks and restaurants, this new bar is also a welcome addition to the Capital’s list of decent-sized music venues. Owner Qiao Xiaodao, who also happens to be a folk singer and interior designer for Jiangjinjiu Bar, has been inviting fellow bands and artists to perform here on weekends. You can even rock the stage yourself by hiring the venue for a private party for your closest 300 friends. However, Tiny Salt Coffee Club serves a different purpose for city commuters who want to avoid rush hour traffic; every day, from 6pm onwards, Hollywood blockbusters play out on the big screen. With its high ceilings and furniture designed in a Southeast Asian style, the space is reminiscent of the warehouses in 798. What’s more, Tsingtaos are sold at a pocket-friendly RMB 8.
