Confidential Bar & Lounge

Confidential Bar & Lounge is a hidden gem in Beijing’s nightlife scene, embracing the mystique of old-world speakeasy design combined with modern cocktail artistry. It operates behind a discreet entrance—rumor has it you enter through what seems like a barber shop, press a hidden button or move a mirror, and reveal a bar tucked away in Shuangjing. Inside, the décor leans strongly vintage: dark woods, velvet touches, low ambient lighting, leather seating, and brass accents. The bar feels intimate and immersive, ideal for conversations over carefully crafted drinks. According to a travel blogger's June 2023 recap, “Confidential brings a 1920s speakeasy vibe to Beijing with a bar hidden behind a barber shop!” Live music and private event hosting are also part of its offering (Confidential Bar & Lounge’s Facebook page mentions “Live Music & Private Events”). Because of its hidden nature and low signage, many visitors emphasize arriving with directions, and expect a certain “treasure hunt” feel to locating the place.
