A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

The weekend ahead: Father’s Day, Guinness, jazz, Beijing Eats, and more

A few things going on this weekend…

Guinness fans: For the next three Saturdays, Danger Doyle’s will have a superb special on this elixir – buy four pints at RMB40 per and receive a free rugby shirt. Paddy O’Shea’s has a similar deal, with the pints at RMB45.

Free drinks fans: The fairer sex drinks for free at Alfa tonight. Kudos for the sleeker design of the covered deck. I will post some photos of it on Monday.

Jazz fans: Christophe Lier will perform his last Beijing gig with New Photon Quartet, tonight at 7:30 PM at CD Cafe. Ah-Q Jazz Arkestra will take the stage at 10 PM. See here for details.

Food fans: Eileen Wen Mooney, author of Beijing Eats, will speak at Garden Books (above Sequoia Cafe on Guanghua Lu) tomorrow from 3 PM to 5 PM (RMB40).

And a reminder that tomorrow is Father’s Day and plenty of places have specials, from The Roadhouse at Mutianyu (with Woodie Alan playing) to SALT (2-course and 3-course brunch at RMB138 rmb and RMB158, or RMB268 and RMB288 with free-flow beer and sparkling wine) to Luga’s Villa (burger, fries and a “fishbowl cocktail” for RMB45 at lunch or fajitas and a “fishbowl cocktail” for RMB60 at dinner).
