Super Bar Street countdown: A night at Tim’s Texas Roadhouse

May 28th, 2009 | Category: Tim's Texas BBQ,Tim's Texas Roadhouse

I headed to Super Bar Street last night, days before the area is slated to shut down, to hang out at Tim’s Texas Roadhouse (map) and a) have a few American micro-brews (bucket of four for RMB100) and pints of Tsingtao (RMB10), b) watch The Big Lebowski, and c) tape my weekly interview with Peter “Sneaky Pete” Koveos of China Radio International.

The place had a solid crowd on hand and many stuck around to watch the two-piece band, play darts and pool, and take advantage of the drink specials. Good times, though I would advise the two women who sang Killing Me Softly to keep their day jobs and be advised that, if there is a second performance, I may ask the police to issue a restraining order to keep them from within 100 meters of a live microphone. (Kidding. Kind of….)

Tim’s will be open 24 hours per day until the expected power cut on Sunday at 6 PM. Tim’s Texas Bar-B-Q (map), near the silk market, will be business as usual.
