About Beijing's Nightlife

Beijing’s nightlife is a hidden chapter of China’s history — concealed behind lights and livehouses.

From magical speakeasies and LGBTQ+ lounges to academic-themed bars, each drink has a tale. You can have a cocktail here and discuss politics with a Chinese PhD from the top universities, or have your fortune read by a modern Taoist who matches your fate with a custom-made drink.

You’ll be matched with a local friend — not a tour guide — someone who shares your vibe, speaks your language, and knows the city’s rhythms. It’s the best way to live like a local, and talk like one too. We’ll suggest a starting point, but you’re free to follow your curiosity, explore places that catch your eye, and shape your experience in real time.

This isn’t just a night out — it’s your bridge to Beijing’s youth culture.

The Routes

Before your night out begins, you’ll receive a personalized digital guidebook—a curated collection of Beijing’s most fascinating nightlife spots.

Your journey might begin at a divination bar, where local "wizards" offer Tarot readings or traditional Chinese divination consultations. Curious about your fate? You’ll not only get a unique interpretation but might also be served a cocktail specially crafted to "bless" your evening based on your reading.

If you and your local friend vibe well, feel free to continue the adventure together.

Most of all, tonight is all about freedom and flow. We’ve prepared a suggested route, but is not fixed. If something in the guidebook is your thing—just let us know.

An Enchanting Evening of Cocktails

This experience beautifully blends mixology, nightlife, and genuine cultural exchange. From trendy speakeasies to underground bars, my local host guided me through each location with relaxed confidence and warmth. The tarot session was creative—where the bartender crafted a dedicated cocktail to match my fortune. I loved the freedom to improvise the route while still relying on a thoughtful digital guidebook. It felt spontaneous, local, and delightfully memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic night out in Beijing.

A Night Out with Depth and Soul

I expected cocktails, but what I got was so much more—a deep dive into Beijing’s youthful spirit. My host wasn't just a guide but a friend who shared personal stories from philosophy lounges and themed bars. The drinks were inventive, from spicy herbal blends to velvety classics, and every place had its own vibe. The divination bar, where fortune-telling meets bespoke drink creation, was the standout. It wasn’t a conventional tour but a free-flowing adventure built around connection and curiosity.

Unexpectedly Insightful and Fun Night

This was my first solo travel in Beijing, and going out with a local completely transformed my perspective on the city. We visited hidden venues ranging from academic-themed lounges to underground dance spots. The digital guidebook was helpful, yet what made the night special was the host matching my energy and preferences in real time. The cocktail created during the divination session was a thoughtful finale—personal and poetic. I felt engaged, safe, and genuinely entertained.
