New Life in an old house

Sneak Preview

Last night I suggested to a good friend to go out for a drink to a well-known bar off Yanan Lu. He suggested we meet in a new place that is going to open soon. I agreed and set off in a taxi.

When I arrived I couldn’t believe my eyes. What a lovely place. They have made an old jewel shine again. With a restaurant, bar, lounge, a yard and a tunnel of around 30 meters extending into the mountain, the owners of this place restored one of Dalian’s old heritage houses to a new glory.

The inside is warmly and creatively decorated – partly through modern design, partly through nostalgia. They produce a variety of leather goods, and offer besides pizza and other food home-made wine.

It will open soon. Watch out for more information on our website and an article in our next issue of Focus on Dalian.
