The Penthouse is a sleek rooftop bar atop a CBD tower offering panoramic views of Beijing's glittering skyline alongside well-made classic cocktails and an extensive whisky list. It caters to the finance and business crowd but is welcoming to anyone who appreciates a well-dressed room and serious drinks. The view alone justifies the price premium, though it can feel corporate on weeknights.
