Liqueur: Burlap, bricks and booze

Open about a year in the desolate stretch between the north end of Sanlitun Bar Street and Cappuccinos, Liqueur has a “rustic” decor that is heavy on red and includes burlap draped across the ceiling. The glossy chairs are wobbly and the bar consists of thick boards separated by bricks. The patrons seemed like regulars and were friendly and relaxed, as was the owner, Gun. The place had a strong neighborhood feel to it. Carlsberg: 20 kuai, Qingdao: 15 kuai. There’s a guitar on the premises, if patrons feel like playing, and a huge plate of candy by the door, though I’m not sure why (Halloween leftovers?).
