Jianghu Bar - Institutional Reviews

Tucked away in Dongmian Hutong near Nanluoguxiang, Jianghu Bar was founded in 2006 and was the base of Beijing's first group of literary and artistic youths to drink, chat and listen to songs. In the past 11 years, MAO has closed down, Sparrow Washer has closed, and D22 has closed down...... Jianghu is one of the few sites that has survived. There were many musicians standing on the stage of Jianghu, and they were not well-known at that time, such as the cloth band, the slap band, the brain turbidity band, Xiaohe, Song Dongye, Ma Di...... All of them have been guest performers at Jianghu bars. Chen Sheng also sang for music fans in Jianghu bars. Jianghu Bar and DDC are similar in many ways, this is because the founder of DDC is one of the former partners of Jianghu Bar. The Jianghu Bar was rebuilt from a courtyard house, and the most conspicuous thing is the signboard on the lintel of the gate, with the word "Jianghu" carved on the wooden plaque. As soon as you enter the bar, the strong literary atmosphere is revealed through the heavy wooden tables and chairs, old Chinese beams and columns, and Chinese red throughout the space. Unlike DDC has a separate performance area, the various functional areas of the Jianghu bar are not subdivided too much, the stage is very small, after placing the drum kit and wheat rack, the musicians basically do not have much space for activities on the stage, which also determines that the performance of the Jianghu bar is more "quiet", mainly folk, jazz, blues, and occasionally there are performances of world music, and the performance ticket price is not high. Perhaps in order to make a living, Jianghu bars are suspected of "forced consumption" in the drinking water, and after music fans buy tickets to enter, sometimes the waiter repeatedly takes the drink list in front of him to ask for an order. In addition, the show usually starts at 9:30 p.m., if a customer comes to the store before 9:30 to buy alcohol and does not buy a ticket for the show, then the passenger can only leave the venue before 9:30, and if you want to continue to sit in the store, you need to buy a ticket for the show. So, if you're just looking for a place to drink and don't want to spend money on a show, Jianghu bars aren't the place to go.
