Planning to have some fun near your hotel in Beijing? Getting ready to wind down after a tiring day? Looking for one of a kind party experience to jazz up your stay in Beijing?
Then visit Sanlitun Street-the best place to pull in Beijing-with top bars, cafes, nightclubs and restaurants the city can possibly offer.
During the Beijing Olympics, swimming star Michael Phelps, soccer star Renaldhino, and movie star Vince Vaughn were among the many celebrities to make appearance at the bars here.
Known as ‘Sanlitun Bar Street’ among locals, this hot nightlife venue lies in the famous embassy area not far from Beijing’s east 3rd Ring Road. Every day from afternoon till late night, this bar street is overflowing with foreign tourists, expats, and locals who have excess energy to burn.
The street comprises two parts: Sanlitun North and Sanlitun South. Sanlitun North is where most bars are located, where you could rock until early morning. It’s not far fromthe 4 star Beijing Taiyue Suites Hotel.
This north part of the street is home to several dozen bars, most of have tables outside where customers can have a drink while enjoy the fresh air. The treat can be agreeable even in Beijing’s hot summer, because the dense trees keep you out of the sun and offer you only cool shade.
Most of the bars on the street offer liquor and beer from around the world to cater to an increasing number of international customers. Some even offer drinks from your hometown!
Despite this, many visitors to China fall in love with local draft beers such as Yangjing and Tsingtao, which are palatable and refreshing by anyone’s taste. Prices for these two beers go around 25 RMB (a little over $3 US), expensive by Beijing standards, but still cheaper than back home.
Another good spot to visit for drinks at low pricesis the bar at the Beijing Avic hotel.
At night, many bars stage live band performances, which soon bring the party to its climax. Party goers groove to beats from DJs or covers and originals by local bands, bartenders work magic as they pour your drink, and waitresses weave their way through tables to deliver your order. You might find the spirit slightly different from that back home, but with the good looking crowd and sexy ambience, who cares!
Of course, if you need quiet surroundings to have an intimate conversation with your loved one, you could find bars hidden in the alleyways offering just that. Lovely surroundings create cozy and romantic ambience.
Most of the bars offer salad, hamburgers, spaghetti, and soup, so you can have a quick dinner here. Otherwise, just go to Sanlitun South for a formal meal.
Sanlitun South gathers some of Beijing’s best restaurants for south Asian cuisines. A considerable number of ambassadors and diplomats are among the regular customers.
Ok, you know the street, now it’s time for you to set out to experience all the fun at firsthandJust don’t have so much drink that you can’t return to your Beijing hotel or miss your Great Wall tour the next morning!
