Reclining Gangster-style: Bobomee at Gongti Xilu

With its strangely infantile name and unrevealing metallic exterior, it’s hard to know what to expect from Bobomee at first glance.

We were rather surprised by the slick interior, where patrons sip champagne whilst reclining gangster-style on white leather sofas. There’s no designated dance floor; instead, movers and shakers gravitate to a small space in front of the DJs, who let rip with Chinese crunk and snap music.

Like a homey in his crib, you’re attended by staff serving predominantly martini-based cocktails (RMB 40-60). With Guinness “Draught” (RMB 45) awkwardly poured from a can, this isn’t a venue for pint swilling.

Bobomee isn’t particularly innovative, but the chilled out vibe, slinky design and absence of a vibrating dance floor distinguish it from the Gongti Xilu set.
