Sips and bites: Hi NFL cheerleaders at Paddy’s, bye Sequoia on Guanghua Road, one-kuai drinks at Fubar
Paddy O’Shea’s will switch from its slate of EPL, rugby, and hurling (the sport) to American football on Sunday as it teams with NFL China and the San Diego Cheerleaders for two hours of fun, from 7 PM to 9 PM. The evening will include dancing and mingling, a replay of the opening game of the NFL season, and beer specials–six Coors Light for RMB100 or six Sol or Tsigntao for RMB90.
Sequoia Cafe will close its Guanghua Road branch for walk-in business as of Friday, though it will still make deliveries, says an email from the operation. This follows on the heels of Garden Books recently closing upstairs. The building has also housed Culinary Capers (now in 798), Tim Texas BBQ (now near the Silk Market) and John Bull Pub (RIP) over the past five years. Look for a Brazilian theme–Sequoia is across from the Brazil embassy–to replace it, complete with a BBQ joint. As of next, those who want to enjoy Sequoia’s organic coffee and turkey-berry sandwiches on site can head to the branch in B1 Kerry Centre.
Fubar has canceled its monthly one-kuai drink event after an employee-customer tussle last Wednesday affirmed the truism that near-free Australian Margaritas are always fun until someone gets a boot to the head (fortunately, no serious injury resulted). The night also saw Fubar unveil its new design, which includes a balcony above the L-shaped bar. Meanwhile, now that DJ Chunky has left our fair city, debate rages over his Saturday night replacement. Apparently the man goes by the name DJ Johnny Hutong while the masses cry out for the moniker DJ Mega Chuanr. Will the people prevail?
Finally, Nanluoguxiang’s 12SQM, once positioned as the city’s smallest bar but now all grown up at 45 square meters, celebrated its third birthday with RMB15 Coopers beers and other drink specials on Saturday night.
