So, you’re on your way back home from a tough day at the office and are in need of a beer and a low-key place to drink it in.

Bull and Bear is lit with warm lights and the walls are wrapped in a comforting wood finish. There are a couple of dartboards in the back next to a plasma screen glowing with ESPN classics. As relaxed as it is, the real saving grace of the establishment is the music. A modest stage showcases a three-person Philippino cover band (is there any other kind?) that plays an eclectic selection. The singer’s voice is as lovely as her countenance and the guitarist can really hold his own. Part two of the musical repertoire is a wolf-man looking German fellow who belts out tunes from the 50s and 60s.

If you’re in the mood for RMB 100 pitchers of Tiger beer and classic Kim Carnes songs or face melting renditions of various Dire Straights hits, this is your place. Perfect for: winding down.
