How to book bars in Beijing

How we chose these bars
The single room here holds a position on our Asia ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Beijing rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
