If you’re joining our hutong bike ride experience around Beixinqiao 北新桥, you’re already signing up for a side of old Beijing that most visitors miss. And of course, the area is known for its incredible food.

Here’s Where to Eat After Your Ride (Sorted by Distance)

1. Overtone 弦外之音🍺🍔(0 min walk)

• You end the hutong ride here, which feels almost suspiciously convenient.

• Overtone is an easy, no-effort landing spot with juicy burgers, craft beer, and a laid-back terrace that’s perfect if you just want to sit, breathe, and share your hutong ride pictures on instagram asap. The food is solid, the drinks hit, and you don’t have to go anywhere. Hard to argue with that.
