A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Blank Ant

A sign announcing “pub” attracted me to Black Ant Leave Town, just off Sanlitun South. Perhaps, I should have been satisfied with the reading experience. The many tagged bottles and the clientele suggest it is a neighborhood retreat, and drinks were reasonably priced at 10 kuai for a Qingdao and 25 kuai for a shot of 12-year-old whisky, but things got a bit uncomfortable when what I thought was the owner approached and gave me the “Lady Bar” spiel. At that point, BEIJING BOYCE LEAVE BLACK ANT.
