(line 10); map . The bar sitting atop this excellent Spanish restaurant was Beijing's “it” place
at the time of writing: views from here are simply superb, and there's barely room to wiggle
your butt during the weekend DJ sets. Weekdays are a different story, with lounge music

JIANGUOMEN DAJIE AND AROUND
Atmosphere 云酷酒吧 , yúnkù jiùbă 80F China World Summit Wing 010 85716459,
shangri-la.com ; Guomao subway (lines 1 & 10); map . Eighty floors up, this is Beijing's lofti-
est bar - for now, at least - and sells costly cocktails (from 90). Though the building is
brand-new, the bar's decoration seems a little dated; no matter, just persuade your date/col-
league to look outside instead. Book ahead to get a window seat; use the lifts facing the build-
ing's east entrance. Daily noon-2am.
