Bar & Restaurant Review: Lan Club (蘭)

Designed by world famous architect Philippe Starck, this bar boast of opulent furnishings and European class that stands out in Beijing. With a floor area of 6,000 sqm and located on the F floor of LG Tower, people who wanted to be seen and impressed flock to this bar.
In my almost four years stay in Beijing, I’ve been to this place only three times. The first time was two years ago with my travel buddy, hoping to try out the promo they featured in cityweekend. When we arrived, we were advised that there was no promo and the staff can barely speak English. To top it off, taking photos is a no-no. We just ordered some sandwiches and soda and left the place disappointed.
New Concept: Toilet Dining!

When the dark restaurant became a fad in Beijing, my Friday dining group went to one of these restaurants to experience it. It was relatively expensive as the waiters need to wear night vision goggles to lead you to your table and serve your food. You order and pay for your food at the lobby area and leave your things in the locker before they lead you to your seats. It was messy, fun and quite an experience. You get to appreciate more those who were born with visual difficulties.
