Arrow Factory Brewing

Beijing


Run by veteran British expat Will, Arrow Factory combines inventive craft ales with impeccable pub grub, served in a two-tiered building with a roof terrace facing the Liangma River. Choose from a dozen or so locally inspired beers brewed off-site and hearty repasts such as pie and mash, full English breakfast, and haddock and chips. Book three days ahead for the Sunday roast.

There are also creative salads, pizza, English puddings and an excellent and growing selection of homemade vegan fare, including vegan pepperoni pizza and vegan ice cream.
