By George II: Zhou’s new cocktail joint to open tonight
-
George’s opens tonight in the southeastern corner of Workers Stadium barely three months after the man in question, George Zhou, left as a co-owner of Q Bar a few blocks away. Last night, about 50 people were on hand to “soft open” this spot, just across from Le Quai, and while the menu only listed about a dozen items, the staff competently fulfilled other drink requests, including one for an Alfonso Special. The main area is open and airy, with a long bar, long ledge, and two long tables, and is conducive to communal drinking or for those on a solo mission — if it turns out to have anything like the vibe of the former First Cafe, where Zhou previously worked, you will end up making friends with your neighbors. George’s also includes lounge areas up front, where the doors slide open wide, and on a smaller second level. The menu last night saw drinks priced from RMB30 to RMB45, with the World Cup games being shown on the big screen. I’ll have more on this place soon…
