Nali Patio Reopens to the Public Today, Jul 8
After a crazy week of handover nightmares, sudden demolitions, and all kinds of drama, Nali Patio reopens to the public today (Jul 8).
We have received confirmation from El Barrio, Daruma, Bottega, M Natural, and Wagyukami that they will be reopening with usual business hours. The Bell & Terrazza Martini will also be reopening, but only for indoor dining. Their terrace will be closed for the time being in light of ongoing Covid restrictions.
Areas within Nali that were demolished on Jun 29 have been blocked off
The only standout is Moka Bros, who informed the Beijinger that they will not be reopening this week. We have also not heard back from the team behind Mosto and La Social as of press time.
Other spots, like Bei 27, also appeared as if they'll be open as usual when we visited. Plus, we got word from our sources that Spanish restaurant Niajo has renewed their contract, so we can expect that they will be reopening soon too.
Although Moka Bros are not reopening this week, it looks like they've taken measures to ensure their store is protected from damage
As we reported last week, the Sanlitun nightlife and dining spot behind Taikooli found itself in a bind when the spot’s outgoing property manager, who was unable to renew their sublease following a dispute with Nali’s owner regarding rent agreements, hired a demolition crew who wreaked havoc on the complex in an attempt to reportedly bring Nali back to what it was when the sublease began over a decade ago.
The main entrance to Nali Patio is now open and you can also enter via the north entrance further on up
Nali Patio was then temporarily closed by the local government due to safety concerns, with current property manager Jiaming Properties, who took over on midnight Jul 1, working to clean up and get Nali reopened as quickly as possible.
We can now safely say Nali Patio is open for business, and will keep you informed on goings on in the space moving forward.
