Drum and Bell Bar

Imagine looking up from your pint of Beijing Draught, the sun dancing through the trees, to see the towering edifice of the Bell Tower; below, a battalion of indestructible pensioners line up for a nightly line-dancing session. Quintessential Beijing moments like these have been pulling folks into the Drum and Bell for years, but a long-threatened regeneration plan has left a sword of Damocles hanging over the bar's head. Best seize the moment and enjoy this venue while you still can.
