Beijing Nightlife with a Local Friend Bars Social and Culture

Before your trip, you’ll receive a personalized digital nightlife guide filled with insider tips: specialty-themed cocktails, LGBTQ+ friendly venues, and even academic bars where students from China’s top universities gather for open, salon-style conversations.
We’ll begin the night at a divination bar, where you can try tarot readings or traditional Chinese Wuxing divination. You’ll get interpretations from local “wizards,” and perhaps even enjoy a cocktail specially crafted to “bless” you based on your reading.
Or, you might choose to visit an academic bar, where topics like politics, geography, and history are discussed in informal settings. The hosts — often students, PhDs, or professors — welcome casual conversation, giving you a glimpse into the minds of China’s highly educated youth.
One cocktail is included in the activity. If you'd like more drinks or want to treat your local friend, feel free to purchase additional ones on your own.
Most importantly, this experience is designed to be chill and flexible. While we’ve crafted a suggested route, you’re welcome to explore other spots from the guidebook — just let us know what interests you!
