Riverside Park vs Beihai for a picnic in 2026?
Beihai, rent bikes at the north gate instead.
yeah the north gate rental is still there, closes around 6
last time i checked it was closer to 5:30 in winter, but thats semptember so 6 is prob right. bring cash tho the machine was down last time.
good to know its still 6, but heads up the bikes are first come first served so weekends they run out by early arvo
Cash only, the card reader's been dead for months.
north gate bikes go fast on weekends, get there before 10
Right, and if you're late the backup rack by the bridge usually still has a few.
Riverside is walk only, no rental racks.
fair enough, tho the shared bikes parked by the east gate sorta count if u squint
the east gate ones work too, just fewer
Old Bell pub in Beijing 2026, still worth a visit?
Still open, and weeknights are quiet enough to actually talk, with local craft taps around 50 to 70 yuan a pint.
yeah and those prices are happy hour, after 8pm most taps jump closer to 80, plus they rotate the local stuff weekly so ask what's fresh
Monday nights the back room's dead quiet til 9ish
agreed on the quiet part but tbh the food's the real draw, their fish and chips beats most places around Gulou. kitchen stops taking orders around 10 though so dont roll in late expecting to eat.
quiet during the week is right but the draft list thins out by thursday, they dont restock til the weekend rush. go tuesday if u want the full board. also the tiny courtyard out back is the move in march, way less smoky than inside
courtyard's the right call but bring a jacket, it's still chilly after dark that time of year & the heaters out there are weak. also they only take card inside, cash is a hassle
tbh the 50 to 70 range only really holds early on, we usually just grab one pint there then wander.
Beer selection's a bit limited, mostly their own brews
March weeknights you'll want the front bar, the back fills with smoking regulars after nine.
