Xian
Cavernous bar with whisky and music
Accessible on the ground floor of the EAST Hotel Beijing, this well-designed, multifaceted venue caters to all. Spread across three floors, Xian features a whisky bar, serving over 130 different firewaters, a live music venue that scores proceedings with a samba/funk sound, an open-air outdoor deck overlooking the 17ha INDIGO park to which the establishment belongs. All this and a beer-oriented pub and lounge space, plus game room with pool tables. Despite the sheer number of working pieces here, Xian maintains a stylish ambience that doesn’t stray into the wild.
