A veteran Sanlitun bar gets a new lease on life~

I've had this place in Ji Dian Yuan saved for ages, over 2000 days, and finally made it here. In today's competitive restaurant industry, especially for bars🍸, it's not easy to stay open this long🕐. I'm lucky to see what it was like over a decade ago~ 📍Next to Qiao Chang, inside Ji Dian Yuan, No. 4, North of Workers' Stadium, South Sanlitun Road 〔Coffee Bean〕¥108 Overall, it's on the acidic side, with a sweet lentil-flavored foam🫧 on top. Underneath is something like tonic water + coffee concentrate☕️, refreshing, sweet, sour, and a little bitter~ 〔Deprofundis〕¥108 The fruity smoke🌫️ is really impressive and photogenic. It smells like wood chips🪵, a very pleasant aroma. The herbal🌿 scent spreads immediately. The combination of gin + curry leaves creates a strong, unique flavor, with a semi-sweet smoky note. Delicious!🤩 〔A Blooming Tree〕¥108 A very summery, tropical, mixed fruit🍉 flavor, with rum and mango🥭. It feels like summer instantly☀️ The egg white on top really looks like a big tree🌳, hahaha. The taste is chocolate🍫 and rose🌹, very layered and quite good👍 Their bar is a bit like the old Chocolate, a triangular shape that's very photogenic📷. In the large hall, a few large characters stand out: "Politics is the commander, the soul~" Was the courtyard always this positive? It's so interesting, hahaha. Drinking🍸 in this environment, you have to be respectful. You can't be casual here🤓
