Nashville: Back in the saddle
Nashville (reincarnated after being demolished earlier this year on Sanlitun South Road). The second floor: Lots of wood and leather, with comfy chairs by the windows; the mixture of John Cougar Mellencamp from the first floor and smooth jazz on the second is “interesting”; decent pizza: (RMB40, 8-inch), though the waiter stood a meter away, watched us eat and tried to remove the plates while we were holding the last slice; wall art includes Tibetan pictures, dart trophies and a Shania Twain poster; Taiwan folk music hero Luo Dayou was sitting nearby; pints of Qingdao (RMB25); the warm colors were a nice contrast to the cold and blustery weather. Main floor: all the rough-hewn, rustic flavor of the old Nashville, and that’s a plus, even with 15 people on hand; a great vibe while the singer performed. “Luo Dayou is one of the most famous musicians from Taiwan. I can’t believe we are sitting here and watching him playing the drums!” Fans of the old Nashville are going to love this place.
