Why go
Mei is a practical rooftop choice in Chaoyang for first-timers who want a setting-led Beijing bar night without overcomplicating the plan. The confirmed public detail is thin on cocktail depth, pricing, and booking mechanics, so choose it for rooftop atmosphere rather than a highly documented drinks program; compare Centro, Vinotheque, Atmosphere, Éclat Lounge, and Janes & Hooch first if the bar craft matters more.

Bar context
Against Centro and Vinotheque, Mei is the more setting-led choice: useful if the brief is rooftop drinks in Chaoyang, less convincing if value depends on a clearly published drinks identity. Centro is the safer pick for a classic hotel-bar feel, while Vinotheque is the better cross-shop when wine is the reason for going out.
Against Atmosphere and Éclat Lounge, the decision is about room style. Atmosphere is the clearer comparison for altitude-driven drinking, while Éclat Lounge suits readers who want a calmer lounge format. Mei works when the plan needs an easy rooftop option, not when the night depends on confirmed cocktail ambition or a published price structure.
Janes & Hooch is the stronger fallback if the group cares more about the bar experience than the view. For broader cross-shopping, use Pearl's full Beijing bars guide; if the evening needs more than drinks, pair it with Beijing restaurants, Beijing hotels, Beijing wineries, or Beijing experiences. For regional bar browsing beyond Beijing, compare 1387 in Xiamen, 38 Lounge in Macau, and ¡BE! Club in San Sebastián.
