A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Top Bar: Chocolate martini sugar high

The Orange-Chocolate Martini (50 kuai), recommended by Alex (Phil’s Pub) comes with a chocolate-coated glass rim. Good, but sweet. A friend criticized the dry vodka martini as “10 percent vodka and 90 percent vermouth.” Top was nearly empty (Friday, 9 PM), but the chairs were comfy, the dim lighting was relaxing, and the music was fun. The main drawback was the overzealous waiter watching us a bit too intently.
