Not your gege’s Nanjie…
The new Nanjie will hold its grand opening this Saturday at 8 PM in the space that once housed Beijing’s home of throat singing, Modern Nomads, just across from Caribe and a new club that is getting set to open.
As Billy K noted on a recent visit, “This isn’t Nanjie.” Which means the decor and layout are more upscale than we expected. Take the second floor - it’s a dimly lit, spacious area with wood flooring and seating options that range from comfortable lounge areas for six to a long table that looks capable of seating two dozen, a setup that makes it very easy to meet people. Downscale prices apply, with bottled Qingdao at 10 kuai.
Another nice touch is a narrow second floor balcony that flanks the front and one side of the building, a nice spot for enjoying a beverage and watching people on the street below.
I have to admit I was a bit impressed and will have more on the new Nanjie soon. In the meantime, that opening is Saturday night at 8, with the first 30 people getting prizes…
