Craft Beer Bars in Chengdu

15 years ago, the only Chinese beers anyone was used to cracking open were weak, mass-produced lagers like Tsingtao, Snow or Harbin… Whilst these pair okay with local grub, in the last 5 years, breweries in Sichuan have begun to produce some of the best craft beer in China. Brands like DaoNiang 道酿, GuiShou 鬼手, NBeer, Wild West, Maltseeds, 9 States and Nanmen are leading the way and putting Chengdu on the craft beer map.

Today, Chengdu also has hundreds of bottle shops, and whilst bottled brews are fine, we wanted to showcase the thing that pumps the lifeblood into the craft beer scene – draft.

This bar directory spotlights Chengdu’s home‑grown craft breweries plus well‑known taprooms across the city for beer fans to explore. Cheers!

The Beer Nest 啤酒窝酒吧

This cellar-style bar opposite the Poly Center was one of the first craft beer places in town. It offers over 30 beers, including several local brews on tap, bottled Belgium beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. It has become somewhat of an institution in the city, and tables often spill out onto the pavement outside in the summer. They also host regular standup comedy and open mic nights.
