Jazz-Ya 爵士

A venerable "elder statesman" of Beijing's food and drink scene, this Sanlitun spot has been serving Japanese-style pub grub (everything from sushi and soba noodles to sizzling steak plates and pizza) and killer cocktails (long island ice teas, saketinis) for well over a decade. Expect the look and feel of a Japanese diner, with the clientele and music (J-Pop and jazz) to boot.
