Monday night wrap: Kokomo, Saddle, and more
After watching Olympic boxing last night (tickets available out front for RMB100), I maneuvered through the masses leaving the football match at Workers Stadium and checked out the Tongli area of Sanlitun North. A quick wrap-up:
The Saddle Cantina had a solid crowd - a huge projection upstairs featured the US-Angola men’s basketball game, while a six-piece band played downstairs.
A peak in the window of Ciro’s next door showed the place to be very busy.
Kokomo solidified its spot as one of - if not the - busiest rooftops in town. Try the Navy Grog for value for money, but beware - tis a powerful drink.
Apertivo, Higher and Higher, and Luga’s on the Tongli strip were fairly busy. China Doll in 3.3 had a good crowd in its lounge, but only a few people in the bar / dance area, as did Club China Doll, but then again i arrived quite early (around 11 PM).
Cheers had a half-dozen places, which made it calm enough for a stop. (This is one of my favorite places to catch live music on Friday and Saturday nights.)
Overall, a good turnout, and nice to see increasing numbers of Olympic visitors showing up wearing flags or their national colors.
