Hidden but well-known

Beijing XL Bar and Restaurant is hidden behind the German restaurant Hacker-Pschorr on Xindong Lu. But since Jane took over as manager, the place is well known and often packed. Previously Jane was the manager at Nearby The Tree, since she left there the place did not manage to survive and it is now taken over by Schillers, as their original place was razed – one of the many victims of the “clean-up” (the building belonged to the army…).

Schillers seems to do pretty well, see how it changed little of the original interior of Nearby The Tree.

Busy place

Beijing XL Bar and Restaurant took over many of the old clients of The Den (also forced to close – the army…) and also took over the monthly NVP drinks (Nederlandse Vereniging Peking) from Nearby The Tree.
XL also hosts gaming and dart evenings.
Food and drinks are OK and reasonably priced.
