Near you in Beijing
Looking for a cocktail bar near you in Beijing? This page routes the city's six top rooms by district, so you can find the closest serious drink tonight, then follow the link to the full ranked guide.
Janes + Hooch holds a recognised spot among Asia's top cocktail bars and sits in the heart of Sanlitun, so it is the first stop if you are near the embassy district or Taikoo Li tonight.
Mokihi runs a Japanese style cocktail counter a short walk from Janes + Hooch in Sanlitun, the quieter pick when you want a seat at the bar rather than a crowd.
D Lounge sits off the main Sanlitun strip behind a courtyard entrance, the nearest choice for a longer cocktail list when you are out by the bar street.
The Tiki Bungalow pours rum drinks in Sanlitun, a few minutes from the D Lounge courtyard and the easiest switch when the first room fills up.
Revolucion brings Cuban rum and cocktails to the Gulou hutongs, the closest serious room if you are near the Drum and Bell Towers rather than out east.
Nostalgia tucks into Wudaoying Hutong near the Lama Temple, the nearest cocktail stop when you are exploring the northern hutong lanes on foot.
Beijing keeps most of its best cocktail rooms in Sanlitun, where Janes + Hooch, Mokihi, D Lounge, and The Tiki Bungalow sit within a few minutes of each other. If you are further west in the old city, the nearest serious drink shifts to the hutongs.
Gulou routes to Revolucion by the Drum and Bell Towers, and Wudaoying Hutong routes to Nostalgia near the Lama Temple. Pick the district you are standing in, then walk to the closest room from there.
