It may look like Vogue is back, but the 88 on the freshly painted building is the only that remains from the original. It’s now a club dedicated to football - you can tell by the name taken from a Chinese soccer fans’ website. Tons of TVs dot the interior and private rooms come equipped with two TVs and an internet-ready computer so that fans won’t miss a minute of the action. Meanwhile, the upstairs DJ booth pumps the kind of techno that made Vogue (in)famous.

This bar caters to the West Side climbing crew and organises climbing trips around Beijing. Mountaineering gear and camping equipment are the bar’s equivalent of wallpaper, along with posters of beefy scaling studs flexing their pecs as they ascend edifices.

The first Swedish Restaurant and Bar has officially opened in the heart of Beijing, China. Aptly named “the W” after one of the owners, Swedish table-tennis player Jan-Ove Waldner. Among other owners you will also find the Swedish ice hockey star Michael Nylander. They have both made a contribution to the personal touch at the W.

The W has seating inside as well as outside in our wonderful garden, perfect for warm summer nights. On the menu you will find western inspired food, of which a large number are typical Swedish dishes such as meatballs and pancakes. In the bar you will find everything from draught beer to exclusive cognacs and long drinks. To put an extra spark to the visits of our guest we also have Swedish entertainers who perform on demand during the evening.

This unique free standing property is set in over 3500 square metres of gardens. Centrally located in Chaoyang district with easy car parking. The Pavillion is the first real gastro pub concept to enter the China market. “A great bar with great food in familiar surroundings”.
