  • Q Bar
    Such is the frequency with which Beijing’s premier bartender Echo bounces back one can’t help but think that she picked an incredibly appropriate English name.

  • CJW
    Back in July 2007, CJW (Cigar Jazz Wine) was the second cigar bar to open in Beijing, allowing us all another vice to add depth and flair to our Beijing cough. The wide-range of cigars all come from the shop attached to the bar. The settings are plush with sofas and perfect lighting and the jazz is a pretty sweet vibe, both good for just being yourself. A drink and a cigar makes you relax.
