Beijing Boyce XVIII: Opening Shots
Last year, I wrote that a new bar or restaurant with a medieval look was being built behind Sun City. Some six months later, the place still has no sign, the carved stone pillars stand like silent vigils, and the giant wooden doors, with iron rings for openers, are locked. Does anyone have inside information? / T. Smith writes that Hua Xin, one of Beijing’s rockers from the early 90s, has opened a place called Shi Wu, near the Bell Tower. / Word has it that the new Latino’s will re-open behind Poly Plaza in July. / Meanwhile, Brewery Tap, in Blue Castle Apartments, has poured its last draft. Farewell to a spot that offered cheap Guinness and decent ambience. / Jan McDonald is retiring as organizer of the Wednesday night dinner club after several years of tenaciously keeping people fed mid-week. / Happy Hour at Champagne this month means two-for-one Van Gogh vodka cocktails (8 PM to close).
