2Kolegas/Dos Kolegas/2K/两好/两个好朋友 is an awesome, no-frills live music venue/bar/party space in Beijing hidden behind a miniature forest and concealed within a drive-in-cinema. No other bar in Beijing boasts an outdoor lawn as massive as 2K's and no other bar can pull off its simplistic, laid back charm. Bare brick walls, friendly staff, squat toilets, a respectable stage & top sound system, afforda
ble drinks using good quality (real) alcohol & wicked events that go on all night makes this venue one of the last bastion's of understated cool. This place comes alive in the weekends, where you can expect to see anything from an international indie act to a local rockabilly band to a vintage fair to a mini-music festival to a whole roast lamb slowly smouldering in a furnace to anything in between. In the summer, the good ol' folks from La Pizza create authentic Naples-style pizza in the clay oven outside, and our bar staff is on-hand with freshly, on-site grown peppermint to make the freshest, most delicious mojitos in town! Bands/musicians who make regular appearances here include: Hanggai, Whai, Xie Tianxiao, Lao Da, Lidong, Nova Heart, DH & The Chinese Hellcats, Residence A, Re-Tros, Steely Heart, Nine Treasures, Longshendao and many, many more.
