LUMDIMSUM'S TOP 5 PICKS

Fubar Gets a Facelift

My list of reasons for liking Fubar only continues to grow. Even more so than before, Fubar is just like a speakeasy straight out of New York or London.

I’m not sure when exactly Fubar got renovated, but now it has two adjacent back-lit bars with an joining pillar doubling as a shrine dedicated to Hendrick’s Gin (awesome) and an upstairs level that wraps from the original upstairs seating around the top of the two bars and back down to the left.

And for those who missed my “Buddha-licious” article on Fubar, here is why I think Fu Bar continues to stand out among Beiing’s over-abundance of bars:

  1. It’s a cozy, little speakeasy bar with a nifty, secret hidden door behind the bathroom of a hot dog joint.
  2. Design of the space is hip and cool, while remaining unpretentious and cozy
  3. Great atmosphere on weekends. Ladies should be happy to find the ratio of guys to girls is about 5:1.
  4. It’s conveniently attached to Stadium Dog – great hot dogs to accompany your cocktails
  5. Served in the cutest depiction of a big-bellied Buddha, their “Dizzy Buddha” cocktails (¥100) is quite possibly the cutest thing ever. You can select from a nice list of cocktails and the best part is that you get to take home the ceramic white Buddha as a great souvenir. (see below for pic)
  6. Happy Hour drinks are almost half-off (6-9PM)
  7. Robbie Hennebry jams with his guitar every Wednesday…making Fubar my new favorite place on Wednesday nights!

    Thank you for the kind review, so happy that you like the remodel. It took a year, but, it’s finally what I imagined it would be from the start. Just wanted to let you and your readers know that in about 3 weeks we will have our next shipment of Buddhas in two new colors. Pink and Gold, so get ready to add to your collection

    Cheers,
    Chad
