A good place for bars and drinking, but also to get cheated and swindled

Just be careful...I thought this place had some amazing bars, comparable to Nanluoguxiang, but this area is also full of crooks and thieves who will steal your money, pretend to be your friend or just plain mug you. A message to the village chinese out there who make up a majority of the population in Beijing...your friends in Houhai make you all look like crooks! Make a good image and you will be respected by locals and foreigners alike!!!
