Live Music
City Weekend says: With art gallery, recording studio, club space and VIP mezzanine, this out-of-the-way live music club is a far classier joint than your averge Beijing rock house.

Category:
Nightlife >
Nightclubs
City Weekend says: This Wudaokou nightclub has class written all over it. It's still geared towards the student set with Top 40 hits blaring and cheap-as-free drinks, but it's got a clean look and great space management. Head here when you don't want to hit Propaganda.

Siif Design Hotel Bar- Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:33:41 -0000
Category:
Nightlife >
Bars
City Weekend says: It's a bar, but the bottles behind the counter are all empty. Drinks come from down the road at the original Siif, which begs the question, "why come here?" Still, even if you're not staying at the hotel, it's a quieter, more cozy version of its big brother next door.

Category:
Nightlife >
Nightclubs
City Weekend says: White Rabbit has been reincarnated in the CBD area as a lounge/bar that strays from their past attempts at nightclubs. A controversial spiral staircase, VIP seating, an open dance floor and unisex bathrooms are just some of the features that make this underground club memorable.

Category:
Nightlife >
Live Music
City Weekend says: This bohemian Gulou hideaway is a hot spot for acting and folk music jams. Regulars sit for hours nursing beer and tea and everyone seems to know each other. If you're new, you can get to know everyone by showing up to one of their regular improv shows where the audience is often sucked into the action.

Nightlife >
Nightclubs
City Weekend says: This relaxed nightclub is the older, more mature sister to the adolescent energy of Vics: grown-up, sexy, and sophisticated. There are tunes, of course, and a house DJ spinning smooth tracks to keep the atmosphere alive, but not a raucous party.

Live Music
City Weekend says: Closed from January 14Featuring an eclectic mix of live music that draws scenesters from every corner of the capital, this no-nonsense rock club is run by music lovers for music lovers.

Bu Zhi Dao- Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:45:18 -0000
Category:
Nightlife >
Bars
City Weekend says: Though there's sure to be some Abbott and Costello-style hilarity arising from its curious name, this new hutong hideout is a good stab at marrying Chinese antiquity and Mexican flavors. Check out the margarita-style frozen cocktails or just hang out sipping on some premium tequila.

Shala Cafe & Bar- Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:32:48 -0000

Category:

Bars
City Weekend says: Nanluoguxiang's cozy café-bar 12SQM may be the smallest pub in Beijing, but that isn't to say it's lacking any amenity (other than space) you would find elsewhere. The bar has a range of imported whiskey, beers and other fine spirits. It even has its own house cocktail, the Beijing Sky.

Ball House- Fri, 18 Mar 2005 07:58:00 -0000
Category:
Nightlife >
Bars
City Weekend says: With only a mysterious, red-lit door marking it, Ball House is a gem of a space carved out of an old loft and is frequented by artists and B-level celebs. With four foosball tables and three pool tables (not free), it cultivates a chill, living room feel.

Category:
Nightlife >
Bars
City Weekend says: The second of the Tiny Salt ventures, this 798 branch offers the same cozy bar vibe with a bigger space and better live shows. It might be a little out of the way, but it's a nice hangout after trekking around the art district.
