Mas

Mas is slap-bang between Dongzhimen and Gulou, an area seriously lacking in serviceable bars – we're talking a desert here; Daffy Duck slaking his thirst on fantasy booze mirages. Secondly, it's got a niche: decent cocktails (40-55RMB), a pretty cheap house wine by the glass (30RMB) and precious little beer (Tiger 30RMB). An adorably dinky terrace seats just a pair of tables, forcing those stuck indoors to gaze enviously on. But location is everything, and here Mas is the king of all it surveys.
