Summer is the perfect season to crack open some beer. This bubbling
alcoholic beverage doesn't just help people cool down from the heat, but
is also good for the body. Nutritionists say beer is rich in silicon
which is good for healthy bones, and it can protect people against heart
disease. For all the benefits beer brings, here we bring you some nice
places in Beijing and Shanghai to get a cold one or two.


Beijing

Beer Mania

Located in Sanlitun, a famous bar zone in Beijing, Beer Mania is a
down-to-earth Belgian pub with a wide selection of light-colored beers
and authentic Belgian waffles made according to the bar owner's own
recipe. Beer Mania's European style is also appealing with the Rin Tin
Tin posters hanging on the walls as well as some European imported beers
hiding in the fridge. Perfect for having a romantic date with homesick
Belgians.

Location: 103, Taiyue Hotel, 16 Sanlitun Nanjie, Chaoyang District
Tel: 010-65850786
Open: 2pm-2am
Cost: 99 yuan per person

Beer and Girl

Located in Wudaokou area, one of Beijing's famous spots where foreigners
hang out, as well as Beijing's prestigious universities like Tsinghua and
Peking University, Beer and Girl features a variety of beers as well as
many cute waitresses as implied by the bar name.

Boasting a spacious area, Beer and Girl is a Korean bar featuring soju,
neon and lots of tasty, deep-fried pub food. And it has pink booths for a
candy sweet time.

Location: 3 Zhongguancun Donglu, Wudaokou, Haidian District
Tel: 010-62550676
Open: 6pm-3am

Beijing Okhotsk Beer

Despite its German sounding name, Beijing Okhotsk Beer is a genuine
spin-off of a popular Japanese pub called OKB. But the German decor is
recreated pretty well with three giant red copper beer steins behind the
bar that say "Munich" on them.

Beijing Okhotsk Beer offers four beers including weizen, pilsner, ale and
mild stout. They are served in 300ml glasses up to liter tankards (28-72
yuan). Besides, ice cream here is delicious and totally unique. It's
worth a try for 20 yuan per scoop.

Location: 7 Business Street, Phoenix City, A5, Shuguang Xili
Tel: 010-58668552
