Located in the heart of Shekou in Shenzhen, Boathouse Restaurant stands as a beloved American-style gem that has been welcoming diners since opening its doors in early 2010. By day, this vibrant, family-friendly spot buzzes with warmth and comfort; by night, it transforms into a cozy, lively bar where friends gather and good times flow.

The menu bursts with hearty, crowd-pleasing favorites that keep locals and expats coming back for more. Standouts include the legendary Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches (paired with your choice of sides (for RMB 79), generous Dinner Salads like the classic Caesar or Tossed (starting at RMB 49), and signature options such as the loaded Chef Salad and fresh Seared Tuna Salad. Meat lovers rave about the Chicken Cordon Bleu with creamy mashed potatoes, perfectly grilled Seabass alongside crisp green beans, and a stellar lineup of burgers crafted from 100% pure beef patties, served with golden fries. Seafood specials, homemade pizzas, succulent main courses of meat or fish, and indulgent desserts round out a lineup that’s as satisfying as it is diverse.

Happy Hour runs daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering fantastic deals on selected beers and house wines, perfect for pairing with irresistible bar snacks. Think crispy Buffalo or BBQ wings (in 8-16 piece portions), loaded Chili Cheese Fries, Super Nachos, and fresh Bruschetta on homemade bread that disappears in minutes.

Step inside, and the nautical charm immediately envelops you: colorful flags from around the globe flutter overhead, model sailing ships nod to the sea, and an eclectic collection of musical instruments adds a playful, lived-in vibe. Outside, a mini garden provides a relaxed spot for smokers to unwind.

Boathouse Restaurant truly shines as a neighborhood hub, drawing a tight-knit community of residents from Shekou and beyond. Expats from the US, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Hong Kong, and local Chinese faces mingle here regularly, familiar greetings, shared laughs, and that easy sense of belonging turn strangers into friends over time.

Entertainment keeps the energy high: guests strum guitars, stream live sports (with WiFi at the ready), or simply soak up the laid-back atmosphere. The space doubles as an ideal venue for private parties, celebrations, and special occasions.

Convenience seals the deal, delivery is available through Hotduck, Meituan, and other apps with no minimum order required.

Open daily from 10:00 AM until 2:00 AM, Boathouse Restaurant remains one of Shekou’s go-to spots for delicious comfort food, great drinks, and genuine community spirit, where every visit feels like catching up with old friends.
