Travelers who like to cap off a day of sightseeing with a nice, cold drink will find plenty to love in Beijing nightlife, which has seen a rapid rise in craft breweries and cocktail bars in the past five years.
For the best bars in Beijing, craft beer fans will be kept busy by homegrown establishments like Great Leap Brewing, Jing A Taproom, Slow Boat Brewery, Arrow Factory, and Panda Brew Pub. For cocktails, stalwarts like Mao Mao Chong have been joined by the arrival of newcomers like Mai Bar, Janes and Hooch, and Capital Spirits. Beijing is also home to a small but steadily growing selection of Japanese whisky and cocktail bars like Amilal.
