DDC is a multi-floor live music venue and bar near the Drum Tower that has been central to Beijing's independent music scene for years, hosting everything from jazz and folk to electronic and punk. The drinks are straightforward and affordable, but the real draw is the programming — check their WeChat for upcoming shows. It can get smoky and loud, which is either a feature or a bug depending on your preferences.
