Beijing's rock pilgrimage site: a small, scruffy hutong room for about 200 where young bands, some still at university, play punk and rock. One long-time Beijing gig-goer writes that its grimy room still has the truest rock atmosphere in town.

Good to know

  • It is small; for a band you care about, arrive before doors
  • It now also draws check-in visitors; weeknight gigs feel more local (sspai, 2024)
