Sep 26: Rockstar Bartender Night @ School Live Bar
During the last Monday of every month, School Live Bar likes to change things up with their "Rockstar Bartender Night." A surprise guest – which is always a prominent member of the Beijing music scene – will be assuming their position behind the bar and playing tunes off of their personal playlist all night long. Just to give you an idea, previous guest bartenders have been Guan Zheng (of Joyside and Casino Demon), Bo Xuan (of Hedgehog and Nova Heart), Zhao Meng (of New Pants and Twinkle Star)… you get the idea.
Mon Sep 26, 9pm-mdnight; Free entry. School Bar, see event listing.
