Beijing has recently seen several bars and restaurants being closed, to the sadness of its regulars (like me). The story behind it is typically “Beijing”. Tenants have few rights, it’s the Far West here. Another victim is The Den, more about that later.
The former Tim’s BBQ was on Dongdaqiao Lu, at the corner of the former “Silk Street 2” (Guanghua Lu). It was a great place, interesting decoration with a soul. Two floors and pretty busy. See the pics I shot on 17 December 2015 before it was forced to close.

I just heard they had reopened and on 10 April I went to discover the new location in Central Park (close to The Place), in that semi circle with all the bars and restaurants, where you also find Swiss Taste.

A bit disappointing as the size is like 20% of its former self. I wonder how the many groups who used it (quiz evenings and other) will be able to use it.
Now there is an outdoor terrace but that will disappear in winter.
I need to try their food again, they were famous for their American BBQ, huge portions, often a bit too sweet and heavy, but a worthwhile experience. But I doubt we will have the same cozy atmosphere of the former one.
