Nice chill-out area on the second floor. open later than most other bars, and often doesn't begin to fill up until after 10. Quiz night's on Tuesday nights often attract a good crowd. Check out the Tsingtao dark beer on tap, really good!
Cafe le Votre
Set back from the street with a courtyard in front, is a brew pub with its own beer. They have two brews, a wheat beer and a dark beer, both are rare finds in China. They also have French and Chinese food. Their courtyard is a great place for people-watching, but unfortunately it is also convenient for touts to find you.

cafes
There are Chinese tea shops where you can sample âten yearâ old tea, or even âfifteen yearâ old tea. It looks very black, but produces a very mild light looking and tasting tea, all served from miniature teapots into miniature teacups. But beware many tea houses are ridiculously over priced. One of the most popular scams in China is the standard, "Do you speak English?, Do you have time? I was about to go get some tea, want to come with me?" and out goes hundreds of kuai. It is a scam; do not fall for it. They are not your friends.
