Club Football Center
With its wall-to-wall football memorabilia, live English premiership action, big screens and yelping punters at the bar, this is the most genuine British pub in town. A must for anyone obsessed with the beautiful game, beer (around Y10 for a bottle of Tsingdao) or pool and darts. There's a solid menu of pub food favourites. This is the focal point of Běijīng's amateur football scene and the place to come if you're looking for a team to join.
If you sign up for the free membership, you'll get emails of forthcoming matches and events. It's an adjunct of the Red House Hotel and reception will direct you there. Or you can enter directly by going up the alley to the side of…

Delaney’s
At this immensely popular Irish watering hole you can choose between the black-and-white-tiled pub on the ground floor and a sports bar and restaurant on the 1st floor. The food is good and plentiful; the kitchen allegedly goes through 400kg of potatoes a week. There’s also a branch on Peking Rd in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Carnegie’s
The rock memorabilia festooning the walls makes it all seem a bit Hard Rock Café-ish, but this place is worth a look all the same. From 9pm on Friday and Saturday, Carnegie’s fills up with young revellers, many of whom will end up dancing on the bar which has brass railings in case they fall.

Devil’s Advocate
This pleasant pub in the thick of things is as relaxed as they come. The bar spills onto the pavement and staff are charming. ‘Devilling Hour’ (5pm to 7pm) is even cheaper than happy hour, and there are cheap drinks on Wednesday night.

3-D Art Bar
Hongmei Entertainment Street fails to deliver on its obvious ambitions, but this bar - along with Blue Frog - is a sanctuary of sorts if you're overwhelmed by the humdrum choice. Be prepared for football action on the big screen, darts and peanuts.

Jane's Pub
With Guinness on tap (per pint Y55), Chimay and Duvel for more discerning palates, obligatory foreign banknotes stapled to the bar, pool and the occasional live singer (from 9pm), Jane's musters enough appeal for those that like an old-fashioned rough and tumble bar.

Target Pub
The triumphant Target Pub, a seasoned panorama of flags, old banknotes, rattan chairs, lazy mezzanine and half a car pinned to the ceiling, hits the bullseye with excellent music, an outstanding selection of spirits and a laid-back vibe. Seize a chilled beer and allow proprietor Lao Wang to regale you with his tales of taming the Taklamakan Desert and wheeling it to Paris.
