The Great Outdoors Description

The once-bustling bar strip along Fangjia Hutong is a shadow of its former self. But new bar The Great Outdoors continues on the Fangjia tradition – albeit with calmer vibes. It can be hard to appreciate the great outdoors in Beijing winter. But at these Great Outdoors, appreciation is reserved for the beers, served alongside a variety of Western comfort food to vaguely outdoorsy decor – unstained wood, photos of treks along the walls. The Great Outdoors has, of course, the time-honored hutong bar tradition of a beer fridge, though the best is on the (12) taps: Little Creatures Pale Ale, Goose Island Honkers Ale, Liefmans Fruitesse, you know, the classics.
