Club Destino

The club is wonderful but beware of your belongings. Last night I lost my smartphone when I was dancing.

One of the few gay bars and clubs in Beijing. This is the place to go during the week and weekend. Destination will show up on Apple Maps and Google Maps. You have to go through security to get in, then pay a cover charge which also gets you a free drink. Once "Inside" they have an outside area with a bar and some seating. You can smoke in the bar, so this is a place to mingle, get fresh air, and some do smoke. Once inside the bar on the bottom floor is the coat check, the dance floor, and a few lounge rooms. Each lounge room has a bar with different music. Upstairs you will find more lounge rooms with different music, and a few have bars. Most people drink their standard mixed drinks and signature cocktails. The drinks are average priced, strong, and are made well. To get a drink you walk up to the bar and order from the attendant who then places your order with the bartender. They have menus on the counter that are all in English. They even have a snacks menu. You can smoke everywhere in the bar and the club does get smokey. The music on the dance floor was great. Typical club music. On Saturday night they had a drag show on the dance floor platform with shows at 12, 1, and 2am. The dance floor gets very crowded! In the lounge rooms I found some great new music. The lounge rooms are a great place to rest after dancing, make out with a boy, or rest. Destination is a gay club/bar that attracts everyone. I even saw a few lesbians.

I talked to several locals both in person and on Blue'd (Chinese Grindr) and all agreed this is the gay bar to go to. It's also the oldest gay club in the city. I went with some friends on a weeknight and the place was almost empty (less than 30 people). But then I went back on Friday night an the place was packed with every room and the hallways filled. There are many rooms to the place all with a different vibe to fit your mood. Very fun bar.

2 floors, and so many rooms. It's so cheap :-)

So big so many rooms and one huge dance floor. Its fun but hard to make contact with just one guy because of size and many rooms.
