What was formerly a textile factory is now home to a super-cool, hyper-contemporary art museum. How cool?! The X Museum is dedicated to encouraging new ideas and celebrating diverse cultures. 

Standard beers are nowhere in sight at this relaxed Chaoyang pub. Jing-A constantly tests the limits with their brewing techniques; they love an innovative flavour, so you can expect some seriously funky craft beers! 

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'.

Slow Boat Brewery is a world-class craft brewery with a bit f Beijing flair. Feeling peckish? Order one of their burgers—they are great. Really great.
