A
Vics
Vics is not the most sophisticated nightclub. Nevertheless, it has remained a favourite with the young crowd for many years now, which makes it some sort of institution. The tunes are mostly standard R&B and hip-hop, there’s an infamous ladies night on Wednesdays (free drinks for women before midnight), and weekends see it rammed with the footloose and fancy free. If you can’t score here, you should give up trying. Entry is free from Monday to Thursday; located inside the Workers Stadium north gate.

Propaganda
Long-serving Wǔdàokǒu nightclub attracting throngs of liúxuéshēng (students), lured by free entry, cheap booze and wildly popular sounds. It's 100m north of Huáqīng Jiāyuán east gate.

World of Suzie Wong
Still jumping most nights of the week, Suzie Wong’s opium-den chic with a 21st-century twist has made it a Beijing nightlife legend. The dance floor, roof terrace and traditional Chinese-style beds you can lounge on attract a really mixed crowd, from models to business types and working girls. The entrance is just by the west gate of Chaoyang Park.

Poachers Inn
Probably the most popular bar in Beijing, cavernous Poachers literally heaves on weekends with exuberant throngs and thumping bass. If you want a conversation, take turns with a loud-hailer and if you want a beer, grease yourself down to get to the besieged bar. The dancefloor is a writhing knot of liuxuesheng (foreign students) and partygoers.

GT Banana
Banana must be doing something right as it's been around for yonks – maybe it's the caged dancers and fire-eaters. Spicy Lounge upstairs brings more variety to the musical mix with regular appearances from international DJs.

Cargo
Young and fashionable Beijingers flock to this place, located in the cluster of clubs just south of the west gate of the Workers Stadium. Big-name DJs from abroad play here on a regular basis and it’s busier during the week than its rivals.

Destination
Běijīng's sole gay club, Destination's coarse concrete finish wins few awards for its looks, but the crowds at weekends don't seem to mind.

Browns
The dull name doesn't do this bar justice. It's a remarkable place where business people hang out alongside club kids. DJs play house and rock music most nights while Tuesday is 'Texas American Singer' night.
