Zhujingban 驻京办

The premise behind Zhujingban AKA "the Beijing office" is that it grants breweries from overseas an authoritative presence in the Big Smog through a simple 1/3/10 formula: one brewery, three months, ten beers. In effect, the bar, opened by the team behind El Nido, serves as a residency to one chosen brewery for three months, during which time they serve 10 of their beers.

The bar is dimly lit and clad in wood, brick, and a couple of green pleather sofas. Probably its most eye-catching detail is the glazed terracotta roof that gives shelter to the bar area. Less traditionally, there's a standalone pinball machine in the corner for entertainment.
