Bars and Nightlife in Beijing

"Baijiu is China’s national drink, and you can get a taste and learn more at Capital Spirits, which has a low-key vibe. Baijiu translates to “white liquor” in Mandarin and is the most-consumed spirit in the world. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s because most of the imbibing occurs in China. There’s a wide variety of baijiu styles, and understanding the basics about the liquor is the first step to understanding Chinese cuisine. Capital Spirits’ bartenders are happy to educate on the beverage as they pour through the initiation, which can include snake-infused variations." - MATADOR_NETWORK
