INNER AFFAIR
RESTAURANT & BAR

Inner Affair Restaurant & Bar
Like floating on water, like floating in the air, this is what life looks like. The ever resplendent Embassy Club has changed its name and been handed over to the proprietor of Suzie Wong. Just be a bit advertent, many familiar faces of Suzie Wong style will still be found out here in the bar that combines both openness and closeness...creating a kind of peaceful atmosphere without the feeling of decadence as brought about by the Qing Dynasty opium and giving way for true happiness to bloom in the night with the glimmerings and wonderful rhythm. All this is the wonderland that Inner Affair builds to cater to its God-like customers. Address: 1F, Qiankun Plaza, 6# Sanlitun Xi Liu Jie, Chaoyang District. Tel: 010-84540899 010-84540321.
