Sanlitun Bar Street: the best place to party in Beijing
Planning to have some fun near your hotel in Beijing? Getting ready to let your hair down? 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.
The street, better known as ‘Sanlitun Bar Street,’ lies in the famous embassy area near Beijing’s east 3rd Ring Road. Every day from afternoon till late night, this bar street is packed with party goers: expats, foreign tourists, and locals who are looking for party fun.
The street consists of two parts: Sanlitun North and Sanlitun South. Sanlitun North is where you will rock until the early hours of the morning. It’s not far fromthe 4 star Beijing Taiyue Suites Hotel.
The north street plays host to several dozen bars, most of which have tables outside where you can sit for a drink. The treat can be soothed even in Beijing’s sweaty summer, for the dense leaves of trees allows you to enjoy the cool shade out of the sun.
With international customers on the rise, many bars here offer liquor and beer, from IPAs to Glenfiddich, coming from around the world. Some lesser-known brands from your hometown can even be found here!
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. Each of the beers sells around RMB 25, which is a little expensive in Beijing, but still cheaper than back home.
Another prime place for cheap drinksis 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 wiggle to the hip beats the band play, bartenders work on exhibition flair, and waitresses weave in and out of the crowds to serve your beers. 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 want to keep things quiet and have an intimate conversation with your loved one, there are bars tucked in the alleyways offering just that. The ambience can be quite nice and romantic.
You may have a quick dinner here for most bars serve salad, spaghetti, hamburgers, soup and other food. Otherwise, just walk for a couple of minutes to the Sanlitun South for a formal meal.
Sanlitun South hosts a few restaurants serving all kinds of south Asian and international cuisines. A considerable number of ambassadors and diplomats are among the regular customers.
Alright, now you are acquainted to the street, and you are ready to set out for a great winning & dining experience while in BeijingSo here is a little piece of advice: don’t have so much fun that you miss your Great Wall tour the next morning, or drink so much that you can’t get back to your Beijing hotel!
