A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Bye bye Bookworm, hello Bookosaurus: Dino drinks, food, events all month

The Bookworm is for patrons of all ages.

The Bookworm (map) is dedicating most of this month to all things antediluvian as it holds a series of events under the theme, “Evolve: Dinosaurs, Darwin, & Discovery” from September 5 to 24. Expect seminars, a special pub quiz, and kids activities, as well as fossils on display and replicas of dinosaur skeletons hanging from the ceiling. The, uh, Bookosaurus also has a “dinosaur” menu.

The drinks include:

  • The Lesothosaurus, with rum, vodka, Midori, lime and pineapple juice at RMB35. (“This little green critter was no bigger than a small dog.”)
  • The Triceratops, with Amaretto, rum, blue curacao, and pineapple juice, at RMB35. (“This dino drink is bound to make you feel a little nutty.Stop drinking if you think you’ve got horns sprouting.”)
  • The Stegoceras, tequila, rum, vodka, orange juice and grenadine, at RMB40. “With a large thick plated skull for butting heads with others of it’s kind. This drink might make you do the same!”

The food menu includes five “herbivore” options, including the Brontosaurus veggie patty (RMB45), with a side salad and “dino wedges”, and five “carnivore” options, including the Caveman’s Platter (RMB138), with “pork ribs, chicken wings, lamb shank, beef kebab, baked potato and side salad.”

For more details on Evolve, see this dedicated page on The Bookworm Web site.

    One could suggest to them to project videos or animations, starting with the Dumb-O-Saurus.
