SantaCon Beijing: Jolly times at Paddy O’Shea’s, Fubar
-
After a hectic Saturday spent running about town, with stops at China World Phase III, where the city’s highest restaurant and bar – Grill 79 and Atmosphere – are slated to open in a few months, and at Cafe Europa, where The Wine Republic uncorked some 50 wines for tasting, with the New Zealand Pinot Noir being particularly tasty, I headed to Paddy O’Shea’s to meet up with the Beijing SantaCon group that had been plowing through the city’s pubs since noon.
I brought five unfinished bottles from The Wine Republic and held an impromptu tasting thanks to Karl “Who’s Your Paddy?” Long, who, in the spirit of the season, waived the corkage fees and provided some glasses. I then tagged along with about 50 “Santas” to Fubar, where the third level looks nearly complete, and fueled up on some Sweet Bees – Manuka honey vodka and ginger ale – and a ho-ho-hot dog.
Kudos the organizers of this event.
