There’s no rattling dice at the only cafe-salon-bar on Chaodou Hutong. Instead, Fu hosts poetry readings and arranges lectures on subjects of cultural interest. The salon’s design, with sofas, wicker seating, and cotton shades draping down from the ceiling, lends itself towards casual chats. Expect a thoughtful, educated clientele and art by the owner and his friends on the walls. Beer, coffee and tea from RMB 15.
