Sanlitun South Bar Street
6506-3845
Thursdays see DJ Martin, Fridays and Saturdays go to Flamenco night and Wednesdays hear Kim’s Canadian Funk Band. Shows start at 10pm, Jam House is a popular live music bar that, as the name suggests, has free jazz and blues jam sessions every Thursdays. At the weekends there are live flamenco bands. A veritable institution in the Beijing bar scene, the Jam House was among the first bars to open on Sanlitun Nanjie. Today, its downstairs stage plays host to a regular rotation of rock, jazz and flamenco bands. Its spacious bottom floor has plenty of tables, couches and chairs, so the place never gets too uncomfortably crowded. Its rooftop patio is one of the best in town.
