Openings & closings: Mesh, Ru, Punk, Drei Kronen 1308, and more
Bars and restaurants continue to open in Beijing even in the midst of the Olympics. Here is an update on some openings and a closing.
Gino Café
Unlike Vics, Mix, et al, it had survived closure at the north entrance of Workers Stadium, perhaps because it sat beyond the gates. It is now closed through September 21, according to a sign on the door.
Mesh (Opposite House, Sanlitun North)
This slick lounge opened on August 11 and saw a decent turnout last night.
Drei Kronen 1308 (China View)
This massive German pub is slated to start serving its home brew - wheat beer, dark beer, and lager - tomorrow.
Bling (Solana)
Opened last week, it closed for renovations on Monday and Tuesday, and is now open again.
All Star (Solana)
Partner establishment of Bling, it also closed for two days, and is now open 24 hours per day.
Punk (Opposite House, Sanlitun North)
This B1 club with seating for 100 is slated to open August 18.
Ru Lounge (China Central Place)
Partner of Japanese restaurant Makoto, this place seems ready to go; I’m waiting for the opening date.
Element Fresh (Sanlitun Village)
This top-floor getaway seats more than 150 and is scheduled to open on September 1.
