One of the more plush lakeside offerings in the Houhai area, this bar is a relaxed and up-market retreat for quiet chat and drifting laughter.

Affiliated with the 974 Car Club, this spot also serves as a meeting place for motorsport enthusiasts, although the decor doesn't reflect any automotive theme. The place is spacious and well lit, with plenty of secluded areas, discreet foliage and hanging drapes.

The drinks menu features a range of coffees and spirits starting at RMB 35. The bar even stocks two obscure German beers, Vincen and Streitberg, for RMB 40 a bottle, along with a few misspelled cocktails starting at RMB 40.
