A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Thursday night walkabout…

Tonight, after confirming Browns is closed, I did a walkabout in the Sanlitun South and North areas on my way home. A few notes:

1. Bookworm: Surprisingly, I received my iced tea in under five minutes, in contrast to my experience last weekend (see the post Sunday Service Showdown: Bookworm vs. Rickshaw coming up shortly).

2. Rickshaw: I had a spicy chicken burger (wholeheartedly recommended) and a bottle of Qingdao (thanks to the Aussies holed up there after being shut out of Browns).

3. Pure Girl 1, Pure Girl 2, Pure Girl 3, A ‘Lil High, Saddle, Aperitivo: Last night, the local authorities carted off all the tables these establishments had put out front for customers. No word if the “street widening” is permanent.

4. Tanewha - The name is still holding strong.

5. Cheers - A couple of customers, a nice chat with Leo; China Doll - about ten people upstairs; Kokomo - roofop half-full.

6. Home - Mark Twain and George Orwell were waiting.
