Five districts, one city, five personalities

Beijing's foreign-facing nightlife isn't one street — it's scattered across the metro map. Each district has its own line, station, and mood.

Editorial pick — pending final verification

Sichuan Restaurant (四川饭店)

Founded in 1959 on Premier Zhou Enlai's own proposal — one of Beijing's most historically significant restaurants, having hosted Deng Xiaoping and Chen Yi among other state leaders. Still serving today, a few minutes from Xinjiekou.

Common questions

How are directory listings chosen?
Every listing is checked before publication — we confirm the business is open, verify the address against the metro dataset, and make sure it's genuinely relevant to Beijing's international community. We don't list places we wouldn't send a friend to.
How do I get my venue listed?
Free basic listings are open to any legitimately operating Beijing business. Email contact@segplaza.com with your name, address, category, WeChat/contact info and a couple of photos. Review takes a few days.
What makes a listing "Featured"?
Featured listings get top placement, a highlighted badge, and homepage rotation. It's either earned through genuine editorial merit or available as a paid placement.
Why does every listing show a metro chip?
Because "near People's Square" isn't an address. Every listing here is tied to the same station dataset that powers the full metro directory, so you always know the line, the station, and roughly how far the walk is — before you leave the house.
How often is the directory updated?
New listings are added as they're submitted and verified; existing ones are reviewed periodically. Closed venues are marked rather than silently deleted, so old links and reviews still resolve.
