All for fun, fun for all

I'm surprised Lush has been so poorly reviewed on this website. I've been here dozens of times for morning coffee (very reasonably priced!), a burger-beer lunch, or late drinks, and it's always well full of folks. Further, it's one of the few places in Beijing that has the integrity to stay open 24-7! The food's not bad, drinks aren't too pricey, they bust ass to have fun and do wacky evenings, and the staff's snappy and helpful. Compared to the lane of whorehouses and nastaurants that stretch south from this corner outpost, Lush stands apart. The only other place that offers a good meal with no hassle is Pyro's, and they share a big goofy nerd manager/owner (homeboy with glasses, not his full-a-beans sidekick) who's clearly the only soldier on the block who's not trying to 骗人.
