Sanlitun and Gongti Xilu are hubbubs for amazing nightlife seekers. Clubs are always on their top choice list. The following clubs are some of the most popular ones where nightlife goers spend their amazing nights.

AlfaThis is a popular club with a gay night on Fridays which has been around for a long time, but is still a great night out. Many of the LGBT community come here throughout the week though, as long as you are up for dancing. The drinks are generous, and the inside is typical for a Chinese club: lots of shiny furniture and accessories.

Address: 6 Xingfuyicun, Gongti Beilu, Chaoyang District, Beijing

DestinationThis club has the same function and is more male-oriented but also welcomes women, and has been around since 2004, when it was the first gay club.

Address: 7 Gongti Xilu, Chaoyang District, Beijing

FunkyThis is a popular club located on Gongti Xilu which attracts a lot of youngsters, especially in summer as there is a great rooftop which feels more like a bar than a club and is perfect for a relaxed drink in the summer months. Funky also has some great themed parties ranging from Drag Shows to Neon parties, which are advertised on the website.

Address: 6F, 8 Gongti Xilu, Chaoyang District, Beijing

Kai ClubThis club is a combination of a bar and club which, although a little stuffy and with a very young crowd, is still a favorite for many as the drinks are a lot cheaper. It is located on the above-pictured street in Sanlitun.

Address: Tongli Studios, Sanlitun Lu, Chaoyang District, Beijing
