Shooters: They’ll Cap Your Glass
In the former locale of Moscow and just up from Kai, Shooters is rising up the hit list of favorite cheap bars – with a bullet. The place may not win any design awards, but is a cut above the competition, with a kind of mini-Browns feel. It has a bar, dance floor and seating downstairs, with sofas upstairs. Eddie O described it as “rough around the edges, but good.” Those over 25 may experience chaperone-like symptoms.
The handy laminated menu lists about a hundred shooters at 10 kuai apiece as well as pricier shots, cocktails and beers. (Note: As with all cheap drinks, you take your chances in this town.) I tried the passable Duck’s Ass (Bailey’s, Kahlua and white rum) and Baby Ruth (vodka, amaretto and peanuts). The Big V (dark cacao, blue cacao, vodka) was surprisingly good and I had a second. Eddie O stuck to Qingdao. Given the prices, drinks, location and ambience, this place will be a winner.

[…] Hmmm, that doesn’t sound good, though it would be nice to hear both sides of the story. Add this on top of the Bar Blu closure (it just reopened) and other stories, and Sanlitun North is one scary place to do business in my book. In any case, the bartenders at Shooters are among the most efficient around, so expect them to be back in action soon. For my initial take on the place, see Shooters: They’ll Cap Your Glass. […]
