G Bar

Combining a football pitch and beer is not a new idea, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great idea. Many have tried the combination in Beijing but have been hamstrung by losing their homes. Ganluyan Football Club has three state-of-the-art artificial football courts and the attached G Bar.

The bar is anything but state-of-the-art, but simplicity is its charm. Beer comes in bottles (Tsingtao RMB 10, Heineken RMB 15) and pints (Carlsberg RMB 10) at prices that allow you to treat your teammates. There are also soft drinks and a roof terrace to relax post-match.

G Bar won’t be making a dent in the nightlife scene, but that’s no excuse for not staying for a beer after your kickabout.
