This odd bar is the best venue to take in one of Beijing’s much-documented punk shows, often featuring the talents of Brain Failure and Hanging on the Box. A Chinese version of heavy metal played on a five-note scale sometimes substitutes for punk. If you value your eardrums, don’t get too close to the speakers.
