Perfect menuless cocktail bar serving the finest cocktails in Beijing. It's a bold statement to make but one this venue deserves. 자세히 보기
Another addition to Beijing's ever-expanding list of speakeasies by Jeff of Mai Bar and Malty Dog fame. The decor takes cues from 1930s. A bit out of the way but great for groups. Good cocktails.
This bookshop/coffee shop/library has a great atmosphere and often hosts talks by well known speakers. It also has a good collection of books on history & politics that are difficult to buy in the PRC
My favourite craft beer in Beijing, upgrade your fries to a litre stein and enjoy the setting in the "1949 Hidden City". Keep an eye out for seasonal beers.
Great pitstop between the Drum Tower and Houhai lake for some unsophisticated comfort food! The Mac & Cheese balls are a must. Also vegetarian-friendly (some even enjoy more than the meatballs!)
Romantic, rustic hutong setting. This Yunnan restaurant takes all the fuss out of ordering by giving a set menu (even the cheapest is more than filling). They will also cater to dietary needs/dislikes
Lets keep this simple. EAT THIS - Rice with Jasmine Flower, Spicy Mashed Potato, Yunnan Cheese, Rice Noodles in Spicy Sour Soup. Yunnan food is delicious for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
Ask for a tour at the reception. The level of detail that has gone into this showcase of the Jonnie Walker brand is incredible and worthy of a special visit. Finish with a drink or brunch on Sundays.
Laptop/all day sitting friendly cafe, relaxing vibe. Go here for some decent healthy breakfast / lunch options and a top setting (less so for the coffee). I've whittled away many a day in this spot
This high-end restaurant is located in a former temple and Communist television factory (Winner of UNESCO Heritage Preservation). Service is outstanding and the lunch offerings are an absolute steal.
Go from 6 am and enter from the South Gate, as you wind your way north be sure to explore beyond the main drag. The beauty is in watching the local elderly generation sing, dance (feel free to join)
Get your Douzhi fix here. A Fermented Meng Bean soup and a traditional Beijing snack! 자세히 보기
Perfect place to pick up some nicely designed gifts. Also, be sure to head upstairs to overlook Houhai lake and get a drink. iced tea is a winner in summer! One of the best-designed spots in the city.
