The entrance to the Stone Boat pub

In spite of missing out on the more well known stone boat in Beijing, we did stop by at lesser known one. One with a much warmer atmosphere. This primarily ex-pat bar is actually a stone boat in the lake at Beijing's Ritan Park that stays open much later than the park itself (making getting to the boat a bit of challenge in itself).

Awhile after a couple from Denmark sat down with us and the conversation turned to comparative experiences in China (and the band Boston, which surely we were intimately familiar with - being from there). What seemed like about an hour or so had actually been about four, we realized.

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling through Beijing in need of draft beer, and international camaraderie.
