CNY Bartender: Don't Get Blue with Xian's Blue Lagoon

Thirsty over the holiday? Grab a cocktail shaker and get to mixing with CNY Bartender, featuring a new drink each day from a Beijing-based mixologist.


Xian bar is one of those places that you know will go out of their way to make sure you have a good time no matter what. They’re like the friend who’s always there and willing to help out.

If you’ve got a party, they’ll happily make arrangements so you’ll feel special and if you just want to unwind after work, the staff there will give you a drink menu, tell you about the drinks deal, and leave you be for the night. It’s great.

They'll be closed until Feb 8 for the Chinese New Year, so while you can’t actually enjoy their cocktails and live music performances, you can make one of their signature drinks right at home.
