Top five watering holes: Elyse Ribbons of Cheeky Monkey Productions
In the latest round of the top five watering holes series, Elyse Ribbons – best known as the woman behind Cheeky Monkey Theater – gives her picks for best spots to grab a drink in Beijing. Her newest production, Kung Pao Shakespeare, a comedy about a Beijing theater company putting on Taming of the Shrew, will be performed this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (there are details on her site about the play and tickets. See also her post on Facebook).
I’M THE KIND OF GIRL that prefers a bar where the barkeep knows my name (and exactly how to mix my drink), so my top five faves in Beijing should come as no surprise:
1) Stone Boat (map): Whether for a coffee in the afternoon or a beer late at night, Stone Boat is my Zen place.
2) Sandglass (map): They make a killer long island iced teas, and they have fabulous ginger beer.
3) Q Bar (map): For obvious reasons – the best mixed drinks in town.
4) Yugong Yishan (map): Cheap beer + good music = good.
5) Salud (map): Flavored rums can’t be beat.
