Lighthaus bar, a beacon in the night

Located in the bustling Sanlitun area of Beijing, Lighthaus bar is a bright spot in the city center after dark. Its menu features nearly 50 cocktails with the highlight arguably being the suitably-monikered Beacon in Sanlitun. Using rum as its base liquor, pineapple and lemon juice add a fresh, but sour flavor. Nonalcohol cocktails are also available for nondrinkers and, of course, designated drivers.
