Description
It is a small place with a quite small stage, but outside there is a small beer garden, cool to chill at summer time.
Named after the two friends who started it, this live music venue has a loyal following among serious local rockers and the fans who love them. Simple and priced at the student crowd, in the summer they throw regular parties on the ample lawn outside. Expect live jams, rock gigs and a hip indie crowd.
On May 27th and May 28th 2011, the 2 Kolegas celebrated their 6th anniversary marking the bar as one of the oldest open live venue in Beijing. According to Beijing Daze:oh boy… where to start? As far as parties go, the best ones this year have been at 2 kolegas (see new year bash)! Those guys just know how to throw down the fun times and get a party started. Last year was memorable, this year was even bigger![1]
