The Little Easy: Redemption for North Sanlitun

Irrepressible entrepreneur Chad Lager is gamely attempting a mission impossible with his latest consulting venture, seeking to redeem one of the bars on the notoriously tacky Sanlitun North strip. For The Little Easy he’s conjured a New Orleans theme with a cosy brick-lined interior, a zydeco playlist and Mardi Gras films projected on the wall.

Cocktails (RMB60) are dangerously potent, but the main draw is the Slow Boat ales on tap (RMB40). Lager hopes to add more specials, a kitchen and occasional live music. A small balcony upstairs and plenty of outdoor seating make this a promising spot for the summer.
