Have You Heard? Gossip Bar Comes to 798

New boutique hotel Yi House brings upscale accommodation to 798 art district, with this hip little bar part of the package. Gossip’s spotlight is placed firmly on intricately mixed drinks.

Classics like the punchy Brandy Crusta go for RMB 55, while more refined mixes such as the smooth yet citrusy Vanilla Sour are RMB 75. For fans of bubbly, champagne cocktails are also available for RMB 125, while a fanciful wine list (RMB 45-75 per glass) should satisfy the rest.

An Alice in Wonderland influence is tangible – check out the bathrooms’ checkered walls and miniature doorways. Meanwhile, the lounge, darkly lit and decorated with dozens of petite mirrors, plush velvet chairs and starry ceiling lights, is perfect for intimate dates. Or, dare we say, for gossip.

Good for: First dates, hipsters
Also try: Apothecary, Q Bar
