Arch Bar

Top choice in Beijing


First-rate cocktails come with a first-class price tag at this exquisite cocktail bar hidden inside the Duan Qirui Former Government Building compound. Arch plays on its historical location with exposed beams, a 100-year-old brick feature wall, and a private room styled with Chinese folk art.

There's also bottled beer (¥30) if you don't fancy splashing too much cash. To find Arch inside the Duan Qirui compound, turn right at the clock tower and continue east for 50m; the bar is the low brick building on your left.
