Iconic Beijing venue 2 Kolegas turned 6 years old last weekend. As many of the commentators have intimated, 2K is close to being a perfect music bar. Hidden away in a crazy drive in cinema near Chaoyang Park, the venue really comes alive in summer, where revelers spill out onto the sofas in the courtyard and eat chu’ar and smoke cigarettes. The main room itself is small – 200-300 people if packed, but the intimacy and rawness of the space creates extra experience on those great nights.
6 years is a long time for a venue in Beijing to be active and 2K should be congratulated for building its audience and providing a haven for artists and music fans alike. We salute you!
