Last call: Spanish wine, tapas promotion ends tonight in Beijing
FYI fans of Spanish wine and tapas: A two-week promotion by Foods and Wines from Spain ends tonight. The deal: Buy a glass of Spanish wine for RMB30 at Carmen, Olas, Niajo, Mare, Palette Vino, Saffron, Cafe Europa, Taverna, or Provincia and get one free tapas. Buy a bottle at RMB150 and get five free tapas. Fun times a few days ago when I joined a group led by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce for a “tapas tour” of Niajo, Carmen, and Olas. So, if you are looking for something to do tonight, consider gathering some friends and trying some of these spots. More details on the promotion at City Weekend.
World Cup in Beijing: Paddy O’Shea’s to feature ‘Anyone But France’ promotion
Yep, he had a hand in it...
-
During this contest a few months ago for 15 pints of Guinness at Paddy O’Shea’s, I noted that pub manager Karl “Who’s Your Paddy” Long would have some France-related specials for the World Cup after that Thierry Henry hand ball dashed the hopes of Ireland. Long sent me the details of his Anyone But France (ABF) promotion today. Put your name in the hat at Paddy’s ahead of games involving France and you could win draws for the following:
- A dozen beers for every goal scored against France
- Six beers for every red card against France
- A cocktail for every yellow card against France
- A beret, wheel of Camembert, and signed Henry poster for every time Long does an Edith Piaf impersonation
The ABF promotion is in good fun and Long says he will give out some shots to those who wear French jerseys during games. He notes that Paddy O’Shea’s will be able to handle two games simultaneously as it will be using Kamat’s upstairs during the World Cup.
