Dirty Deeds at Rui Fu?

A few months ago, I reported that Henry Li’s newest bar, Rui Fu, was up for sale. In discussions over the cavernous bar’s fate with friends, the venue’s potential as a site for live music became clearer* - it’d be easy enough to put in a stage, there’s enough room for hundreds of music lovers, and the private rooms upstairs could handle spillover or be used for multiple events. Well, someone else agrees - Yugong Yishan will take over Henry’s digs, which should ensure a few more encores there of Beijing’s AC/DC tribute band, Dirty Deeds…. Let’s see how the neighbors like, “Have a Drink on Me.”

* In the past three months, I’ve received more emails re investing in live music venues than about any other bar-related business topic (wine distribution would be second).
