Have you ever seen a bar with a view of the Imperial Palace, the White Tower and all those red walls and gold tiles? The wooden bar counter and small stage at Yin Bar provide a modern scene against the backdrop of the ancient architecture. This combination of both Chinese and Western culture attracts many tourists.

The beverages are relatively cheaper than that of other bars, yet the quality is not any less satisfactory. The owner's recommendation is a special kind of cocktail that uses yellow rice wine as its base. It is quite a rare thing. The great aroma of the wine matches perfectly with the magnificent Imperial Palace.
