Slowboat Shichahai Taproom

Slowboat's two-floor taproom in the heart of historic Shichahai and Houhai invites guests to revel in award-winning food with commanding views of the lakes below. For an intimate experience, book a private booth with its own window for groups of up to 12 friends and family. Immerse yourself in history while seated, as the taproom's tables and benches are crafted from 100-year-old recycled elm from traditional hutong courtyards.

Tough Tongue BBQ

Tough Tongue BBQ is a creative chuan'r chain that includes close to 30 types of meat, vegetable, and even fruit skewers. There's also seafood and beer hot pot for the winter months and a gut-busting range of burgers and wraps. We recommend the "meat burger" from the former and the "fish and chips roll" from the latter.

Joli's Wine Bar

Wines are sold at RMB 50 per glass at this elegantly decorated hutong bar. It's located near Houhai, in a quiet hutong that has yet to be tapped in the same way that many of the alleys adjacent to Beixinqiao and Gulou are rife with Westernized fare. Joli's atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant, thanks to the tastefully colorful decor.
