Places to drink in Beijing

See the Districts articles for individual listings. Most of Beijing's bars are located in one of the bar clusters around the city. A few years back, the only one was Sanlitun, but almost every year the last few years have seen a new area emerge. The most important areas are:
  • Houhai in Xicheng District located around the lake, Houhai
  • Nanluogu Xiang in Dongcheng District located in the middle of the hutongs
  • Sanlitun in Chaoyang District was once the centre of nightlife in Beijing and still popular with expats but increasingly uninteresting for travellers and locals.
  • Workers Stadium in Chaoyang District has taken over part of the action in nearby Sanlitun.
  • West Gate of Chaoyang Park in Chaoyang District is one of the newest bar areas in Beijing
  • Ladies' Street in Chaoyang District. By day it has some fashion shops, as its name suggests, but it is also home to some interesting new bars, restaurants and clubs.
  • Yuan Dynasty Wall Bar Street in Chaoyang District is a new ready-made bar area located nicely along a small river and a park but with quite uninteresting bars.
  • Wudaokou in Haidian District, where most of the foreign and local university students hang out. There are a number of bars and restaurants which serve a great variety of wine, beer and liquor for cheap. This area is also well known for its huge Korean population and a good place to find Korean food.
  • Dashanzi in Chaoyang District, Beijing's trendy art zone, this old warehouse and factory district has been taken over by art galleries, art shops and bars. Well worth the trip to experience the Beijing art scene. Also known as Factory 798 (798工厂 Qījiǔbā Gōngchǎng).
