Hei Hei Club 嘻嘻

Part of a successful Hong Kong chain, Hei Hei Club has found a Beijing home amidst Gongti’s neon ghetto. Hei Hei fits right in, the glittering disco balls and ornate chandeliers looking achingly familiar. The drinks menu is low on fuss, with a small selection of beers and super strong cocktails. Hip-hop tunes dominate the dance floor, with flat-screen TVs playing the accompanying videos for each track. The mostly local crowd come well-dressed and eager to party, but with little unique to offer other than extravagant bathrooms – complete with snakeskin countertops – Hei Hei has limited appeal for an expat crowd.
