With four locations in Beijing, Great Leap Brewery is a great option to throw back a few beers with friends. It's especially popular among younger Chinese drinkers and expats, so the crowd is always bumpin'.

Is the weather good? Yay! Take advantage of the sun and grab brunch on Mosto's sweet little terrace. Hangover, begone!

This mega club has it all: dance floors, multiple stories, a catwalk and an enormous stage. 疯狂的！Keep an eye on their Instagram so you know when the coolest DJs are in town. 

This bookstore chain has the best selection of books, from art and design tomes to Chinese classics and English bestsellers. Our favourite location is in Sanlitun because of the striking wood decor. It's intimate and cosy when the light shines through the windows.
