Arrow factory, it is on this street but I cannot find it on map. just walk to here of the west side. you will see large window with logo.
it has a nice roof top, and 2nd floor has a large window view (don't miss that, you will know why I say large window if you get there), this is a bit hidden, also home brewery beer, fantastic for hang out with friend, or having a private conversion with someone, its a bit more quite than Great leap, since great leap can get super crowded at night.

Walk this street together with Wudaoying, it is the most beautiful hutong street yet secret still. not so busy compare other place, and still very clean. don't answer if people try to talk to you on the street, they are very nice, but they often try to sell something to you, not so often just to let you know.
