Rolling club: Coco Banana By Nina Wen (That's Beijing) Updated: 2006-05-10 10:05
Opened by the people behind Banana, (after months of decorating and
repeated postponements) Coco Banana finally opened its doors on April 10 with DJ
Magazine's world No. 1, DJ Tiesto, treating revelers to his world-renowned
trance mixes.
The gig attracted so many party gals that the club was literally packed-a
great start, and the club's manager, Jeffery, promised that the venue would
continue hosting world famous DJs in the future.
Smaller than Banana, Coco Banana features a square bar and lounge areas
around the dance floor. With its modern and shining decor and go-go dancers,
Coco Banana clearly draws on Banana's style, although high rents on Gongti Xilu
means higher drink prices (beers start at RMB 35). However, the location will
lure a higher number of expats and means more competition for the likes of
Angel, Babyface and Cargo, on what has become Beijing's boulevard of high
rolling clubs.
Location: Gongti Xilu, Chaoyang District Opening time: Daily
8:30pm-late. Tel: 010-85999999
