Jiangsu Kunju Theatre
Excellent kūnjù or kūnqǔ opera performances are held here. This type of opera is a regional form of classical Chinese opera that developed in the Sūzhōu-Hángzhōu-Nánjīng triangle. It's similar to (but slower than) Beijing opera and is performed with colourful and elaborate costumes. The theatre is next to the eastern entrance of the Heaven Dynasty Palace. Take bus 4 from the Xinjiekou roundabout and get off two stops to the west.

Home Sweet Home
This modest café near the intersection of Guangzhou Lu and Shanghai Lu is a far cry from the ubiquitous coffee house chains sprouting up around the city. Choose from a wide range of coffees, pastries and sandwiches - the ice-mint coffee and brownies are a good afternoon pick-me-up.

Finnegans Wake
Great, if pricey, food and drinks. Guinness on tap and an Irish bartender who also belts out the tunes. Quiet except for the weekends and Monday (half-price burgers). Don't try the chilli vodka unless you want to spend the night writhing on the ground.

Behind the Wall
Very laid-back and comfortable with outside seating, convivial atmosphere and draught beer. A talented guitar duo performs most nights. The bar doubles as a Mexican restaurant and servings (from Y48) are huge. It's literally 'behind the wall'.
