Next time you find yourself craving a full-on meal in the middle of the night, we suggest you try one of these Beijing restaurants. They're the perfect places to go to soak up all that booze after a night out in the capital. We love that we live in a city where it's possible to find food at all hours.
1. Jindingxuan
Thanks to its 24-hour service and tasty dim sum, Jindingxuan has always been there for us, like the loud, Cantonese mother we never had. One time, we even spent seven hours there – from midnight to 7am. We think that attests to the fact that Jindingxuan will do the trick when it’s late and you’re drunk and hungry

2. Jianghu Weidao
Open till 4am Jianghu Weidao is a no brainer when it comes to late-night eating in the capital. Located in Beixinqiao, this place serves up traditional Xinjiang dishes really, really well. The menu is extensive – Xinjiang fried noodles, chuan’r, dapanji and more. Plus, prices are reasonable, which is why this is such a popular spot.

3. Hai Di Lao
It might be a little noisy, but this 24-hour classic is a solid choice for hot pot. Best yet: for only a couple RMB you can order the famous 'noodle dance,' during which a trained noodle dancer will twirl dough fanatically around your table. It's always hilarious – but especially so at night.

4. Queenie’s
If you’re looking for a late-night snack that’s unabashedly American, then look no further than Queenie’s. Yonghegong Dajie is a booze-heavy and foreigner-heavy part of town, which is why it’s the perfect place for a shop that sells large, American-style sandwiches. Offerings at Queenie's include steak-and-cheese, braised lamb and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, all wickedly cheap (RMB20-25). It’s a solid late-night sandwich spot and they have a surprisingly good bottled beer selection.
