Originally there were no bars in Beijing, because Chinese don't have such traditions. Chinese go to restaurants for a drink.. a lot of them are open until the last drunks crawl home. While eating in restaurants is an amazing experience and eating while you drink is considered healthy.. sometimes you just miss good old bars where you can just drink good beer.
Sanlitun is one of those places.. and not just that area but other areas as well have seen an increase in expat bars of all types and sizes. However what has caught our attention, are bohemian places.. small, cozy, warm and very attractive.
In fact these kinds of bars have become a part of the Beijing experience. Not just expats but locals, especially the younger folk are getting in to them. Great place to meet the modern Beijinger!
