Support Your Local Venue With These Restaurant Deals and Reopenings

As more venues start to reopen, more deals are surfacing to lure you from your very comfy couch. Below is a selection of events and promotions that Beijing's bars and restaurants are offering to get you through the door without breaking the bank.

Before you head out, be aware that the majority of venues are still operating with some combination of dining restrictions (50 percent capacity, X number of customers per table, X amount of space per tables, etc.), so we'd recommend calling ahead to make sure they're amenable to your specific requirements.

Finally, since our last update, Xingfucun's Anchor 2.0 has unfortunately been unable to weather the fiscal storm that is the coronavirus, shuttering on Wednesday (read their full statement here), while TRB Hutong, Opera Bombana, Beersmith, Migas Mercado, Centro, Great Leap #12, Nanjie, QS, Pie Squared, Atmosphere and The Red Chamber (at China World Summit Wing), and Made in China (at the Grand Hyatt) have all reopened. Go show them your support!
