Inferno is not your usual rock bar. Remodeled from an abandoned public bath house, this cool venue might even be a bit too 'stylish' or too 'loungy' for some die-hard rock music fans. Its minimalist interior is bathed in warm, yellow light, and there is even a pool table in the middle.

Add in the fact that there wont' be any live band, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what Inferno is about - all spectrum of rock music, yes, and an more relaxed atmosphere for metalheads, punks, and anyone who has a passing interest in rock 'n' roll.

Beers are cheap, with bottled Tsingtao at 20 RMB and draft Tiger/Carlsberg beer at 35 RMB. If you're feeling fancy, a small range of craft beers are availabe, such as Duvel (45 RMB) and Rogue Dead Guy (40 RMB). Succebus (55 RMB), one of the signature cocktails here, is popular with rock chicks, which is a refreshing concoction of raspberry vodka, grape juice and cranberry juice.
