Smaller than Banana, Coco Banana features a square bar and lounge areas around the dance floor. With its modern and shining decor and go-go dancers, Coco Banana clearly draws on Banana's style.

Second installment in the Banana clubbing franchise, this glitzy dance club attracts a predominantly Chinese crowd with a techno and hard house music policy. Foreigners show up for the big name DJs who regularly stop in. With a small dance floor dotted with tables, the premium here is on shoehorning in as many clubbers as possible.

Profile

Opened by the people behind one of Beijing's best-loved nightclubs (Banana), Coco Banana drew on years of experience to make their opening night on April 2006 one of the most memorable events of the year. In terms of design and interior, Coco Banana has followed in the footsteps of its sister venue Banana and that of its neighbours on Gongti Xilu.

The club has that cookie cutter feeling to it; big square bar strategically placed near the entrance, tables and chairs on the periphery of the dancefloor with booths taking up the back wall of the club. Where it does differ from other venues is in its size and its own sense of style.

Activities

Go-go dancers-particularly the she/male who drips with funky attitude.
Podiums that make the dancers look like they're strutting their stuff inside a water tank.
Favoured by who
Much like sister venue Banana, Coco Banana has the ability to draw people in seven nights a week and was even favoured by recent visitors the Black Eyed Peas.
