School Bar

School Bar is inimitable. Since opening in 2010, it's somehow managed to become a cornerstone of the Beijing rock establishment, and it's difficult to imagine the scene without it. Every year School Bar hosts more than 200 shows, featuring more than 300 bands in a schedule that includes both fixtures, rising stars and legitimate oddballs. Also, yes, they do live screenings of European Football League games, the UEFA Champions League, and the World Cup. Ambiance is punk-dive chic.
