Beijing Hutong Nightlife & Local Drinking Tour

Explore Beijing hutongs at night with locals, enjoy craft beer, street drinks, and hidden bars in a social small-group experience.
Experience Beijing nightlife the way locals do—casual, social, and full of surprises. This small-group evening tour takes you through one of the city’s most iconic hutong neighborhoods, where centuries-old alleyways meet a new generation of bars and social spaces.

Your night begins at a local craft beer bar, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary freshly poured beer. This relaxed start helps everyone in the group ease into conversation and get to know each other. From there, you’ll step into the hutongs, walking through narrow lanes lined with traditional courtyard homes and modern hidden venues.

As you explore, your local guide will share insights into Chinese drinking culture—how it has evolved over time, what people drink today, and why social drinking plays such an important role in everyday life.

One of the most unique parts of the experience is a stop at a neighborhood convenience store. Here, you’ll drink like locals do—standing outside, sharing simple drinks like beer or baijiu, and learning how to toast in Chinese.

The evening ends in a hidden bar tucked inside an ordinary-looking street, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary shot (or upgrade to a cocktail). With music playing and conversations flowing, this final stop offers the perfect setting to relax and connect.
