Fuli and 5:19?

Word has it former 5:19 Bar & Grill owner Dave McCullough is preparing to open a new bar in the Fulicheng area, citing the lack of drinking holes in that environs. Before opening 5:19 on Super Bar Street, Dave ran Artifacts near Chaoyang Park’s West Gate. For some back and forth on the merits and demirits of opening in this area, see here.

5:19: It’s Moldova time!

5:19. Four kinds of wine from Moldova (!) (RMB40 / glass); feels like a 1980s recreation room (where’s the Atari and Pong?); a bit chilly given the stone block floor; still getting in gear, with the beer taps, maple syrup (for cocktails) and name cards expected soon; the dart board is right above the sofa (wear a helmet); four kinds of Moldova wine (!) (sorry, had to repeat that again); happy hour from 5:19 to 8 (PM); bingo nights planned; owner is a former partner in the now-demolished Artifacts.
