Free Soul has moved to where Means used to be. The main difference from the old location is size and food.

Decoration-wise, it retains the same red walls but in smaller premises, which are so much cosier. Food sees a big expansion with the bar trying to establish itself as a lunch venue with sets of both Western and Asian food (RMB 18-38, available up to 5pm). Having Tiger and San Miguel on tap RMB 30 (large,) bottles ranging from RMB 20-40, and spirits in the vicinity of RMB 40, this new location certainly offers a good value. The glass-heavy bathroom, however, doesn't really fit in–and there's a working shower.

With a happy hour from 5-8pm and a RMB 100 all you can drink deal on Tuesdays, this friendly local bar is already getting the punters in. Perfect for as a friendly local.
