Bungalow Tiki and Cocktail Bar is a charming escape tucked away in Beijing's historic Dongcheng district. Housed in a traditional hutong courtyard, the bar transports guests to a tropical paradise with bamboo decor, thatched roofs, and vintage tiki mugs. The cocktail menu features classic tiki drinks like Mai Tais and Zombies, as well as creative originals made with fresh juices and quality spirits. The intimate space includes both indoor seating and a small outdoor courtyard, perfect for warm evenings. The vibe is relaxed and whimsical, with friendly bartenders who are passionate about mixology. It's a favorite among expats and locals looking for a unique night out away from the city's modern bars. The narrow hutong entrance adds to the sense of discovery.
