A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Weekend wrap: Suzie, Cutie, Richy, et al

A quick update on activities of weekend last:

Friday night

I went on a pub crawl with some foreign journalists - we started in Nanluoguxiang and hit Suzie Wong (too early to be busy but a décor worth seeing), Q Bar (a light crowd when we arrived around 10 and bustling when we left less than an hour later), The Saddle Cantina (fairly full inside with about 30 people spilling into the courtyard) and China Doll (busy, busy, busy). The night included an impromptu meeting with a Brazilian dance group and Ciro of Ciro’s popping out to say hi in all his blinged-out tattooed glory.

Saturday night

I did a walkabout that included the club strip on Workers’ Stadium West. Lots of people in front of the clubs (Richy, Cutie et al), a solid crowd in Taiwanese restaurant Hsin Yeh (great food), and about 50 patrons  chilling outside Destinations across the street.

    12sqm,

    We actually didn’t go *in” any places. We did the filming and interview on the street. But hey, I did pop by Monday to say hi, though you’d already headed home.

    Cheers, Boyce
