Slick as soap

I'm reluctant to review and praise this place as much of its charm is due to the relative lack of 吵. Music's good, drinks well made, bartenders considerate and skilled (I was once called "Sir", by a white girl barely my junior). It's dim, which is kind on eyes irritated by Beijing, and classy, located on 南锣鼓巷 in a place that wasn't gutted by 没有文化的外地汉奸氓。 Drinks could be cheaper, but the price is standard for legit bars in the GuLou area. Its proximity to other cool spots, like 毛毛虫 and 大跃 (MaoMaoChong and Great Leap Brewing) make it a great stop for an night of HuTong bar-hopping, but one is equally compelled to park their ass here for a pleasant evening of drinks and friends.
