Beijing Boyce

A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Maggie’s is back…

… as the most-searched-for bar or restaurant on this blog.

(Short intermission as I duck shoes, books, beer cans, mustard bottles, and other objects hurled by those who pine for a return of their favorite hot dog joint, closed since March.)

After being knocked out of top spot by China View dance spot Klubb Rouge a couple of times this summer, Maggie’s headed the search charts in September. The top five is rounded out by Legation Quarter, Maison Boulod, Mosto, and Element Fresh.

Maggie’s, which holds a dual identity as a spot with good music, people-watching, and hot dogs and as a place where, uh, joint ventures can be negotiated, must soon be reopening, no?

    Boyce–that was a cruel joke. I am boycotting Beijing until Maggie’s returns. Not because of the hookers (we have plenty in Taiyuan), but because its return will symbolize the return of the good (read dirty, freewheeling, actually fun) Beijing.

    @ Badr,

    Sorry man, I owe you a hot dog.

    @ General Yan,

    In the meantime, have you written anything about your province’s Grace Vineyard wines? Seriously, with your charm and that decent wine, you could drive export sales and afford all the juicy pants you could ever want.

    Cheers, Boyce
