Frolic Around the Hutongs this Weekend with These Spring Friendly Events ... and Cocksicles

This weekend we welcome the opening of a couple of cool rooftop barbecues and crazy cool happenings going on around the hutongs this weekend. Welcome spring in the best way possible, with a mouthful of booze and roasted grill items at one of these beloved locations. This is what Beijing is all about, baby. 

Apr 29: Más Spring Twist Party!
Come feel the spring fever with the classic sounds of yesteryear, combined with some top-notch cocktails courtesy of the Más boys this Friday night. They're moving out all the tables and bringing out DJs Lil' Punk'n Patch, and the Von Tussle Boys to bring you the best classic rock 'n roll, early garage, doo wop, and twist tunes all night long. Feel free to put on those poodle skirts and comb in the Brill Cream, but remember “just a little dab will do ya.” Free. 7pm. Más 

Apr 30: 8-Bit Kebab Launch and Rooftop Party
Some of you may have forgotten over the long winter that 8-Bit, along with being the best place in the city to get your game on, also has some pretty primo rooftop real estate. They are upping the ante this weekend by adding some chicken, beef, and tofu kebabs to the menu, along with Coca-Cola wings and an extensive sauce bar to flavor these items your way. A little bird also mentioned that they would have that crazy corn hole game on site. So prepare yourselves for draft beer, games, and barbecue galore to put that much desired spring in your step. They are also open every weekend now from 3pm-1am. Free. 8-Bit 

May 1: Synth & Sun BBQ and Aotu Rooftop Terrace Soft Opening
Wait, you're telling us we can appreciate some rad art, get our haircut super shuai, and party on a rooftop all at the same place. Yeah that’s exactly what they’re saying, little homies. Aotu has it all this Sunday as they kick things off in style with DJs, cocktails, and by commissioning a hutong chuan'r master to cook up some tasty meats and veggies for the fashionista BBQ sluts in Beijing. Free. 2-9pm. Aotu Studio

May 1: Boozy Popsicles and DJ Mu Dirtydishes at Ramo
This prime spot for hutong chilling will begin offering cocktail popsicles, or cocksicles as they so elegantly put it (insert giggle emoticon here). Along with their standard fare of pizza, salads, and drinks, they will also have DJ Mu Dirtydishes serving up some funky reggae jams for your listening pleasure all day and night long. Free. 3pm-1am. Ramo
