I've heard that there are quite a few cute bars hidden in hutongs in the gulou area, but I have yet to explore that area's nightlife. Any good suggestions?

Amilal is a great, relaxed bar hidden in a really narrow hutong that's easy to miss, just off Gulou Dongdajie. It's at 48 Shoubi Hutong (寿比胡同48号). It's got a really chilled out, friendly vibe and it's small enough to create an inimate and social vibe. I've gotten talking to loads of random people while there.
I also dig Jianghu on Dongmianhua Hutong. It's a cute live music bar set in a pictoresque courtyard style building. Entrance usually costs around 50 when there's a gig, but it's worth it if you want a chilled night out of acoustic live music in a cosy setting.
