三重奏:竞争者下跌2猛扑

两个当家最近的举动提醒我的波士顿凯尔特人队在一夜之间转变成竞争者-对不起,NBA是即将开始,篮球在我的脑海。 在我到之前,一个小背景:

当家于2006年5月开业,在丽都区域特色三部分组成:

  • 在地面的转世灵童的城市最古老的非酒店的酒吧, 弗兰克的地方
  • 一个七十个座位的纽约风格的烧烤和钢琴酒吧, 公园烧烤 ,往上顶
  • 高端葡萄酒为中心的酒窖中,没有惊喜,地下室

弗兰克的地方做得很好,定期到甲板帮助改善,但公园烧烤和地窖挣扎。 两个举动大大动摇的事情了。

首先,酒窖出租给公司经营的名义下在Le Cave的酒吧在汉城8酒。 洞旨在带来的常客,并伸出手来光顾该地区的韩国和日本的大型群众期待一个多样化的客户。

第二,公园烧烤会转变成 ,与前阿拉米达伙伴盖比·阿尔维斯和熟人接管。

这是什么做与波士顿凯尔特人队 几个月前,凯尔特人也落选,一个全明星( 皮尔斯 )和许多有潜力的球员 ​​。 决定球队赢得现在,两个最好的球员​​,加内特雷·阿伦的交易,并成为即时的竞争者。

当家也有它的恒星(弗兰克的地方),现在它的一个葡萄酒酒吧连锁合作与纪录(乐洞)和一个屡获殊荣的餐厅(亚拉米达)的前合伙人

有没有与凯尔特人成功的保证 - 明星之一吹灭了膝盖,可能是替补太弱了 - 也不是有与三星的位置 - 也许不起作用或可能的新关系带来摩擦。

但摇晃盐洞的事情,是一个很好的举措。 这些地方纳入当家带来了新的人群,并当场给第二杆。

麻烦通力二,地窖和洞穴

整修显然具有超强的速度完成中国娃娃重新开放(见在故障通力 )。 他们有足够的时间来改变灯泡和购买新的酒吧开瓶器。

同时,在丽都的酒窖洞或者,不那么神秘,葡萄酒吧称为“酒窖是三重奏 ,包括弗兰克的广场公园烧烤 ,已被售出1韩国公司,正在重新的推出它的一部分作为洞。 今晚的开幕晚会上画了一个庞大的人群,我有更多的很快。

现在,这是万圣节的乐趣的时候......

新窖居民的三星

当家开在五月2006年和包括:城市最古老的非酒店酒吧, 弗兰克的地方 ,在地面上的转世; 1 70-座位纽约烧烤和钢琴酒吧, 公园烧烤 ,往上顶和高档葡萄酒为中心的地下室 ,没有惊喜,地下室。

弗兰克的地方已经做得很好,特别是自天开的甲板上所做的改进,但公园烧烤和地窖一直在努力。 TRIO的管理报告,后者已被出租给一家韩国公司经营在汉城8个葡萄酒品牌下的乐洞酒吧。 看一个类似的协议,在公园烧烤。

“结果是,从原来的概念不同,”一位投资者说。 “我们刚刚与战略伙伴合作。”

它的意思是,三重奏管理可以专注于它的面包,黄油 - 弗兰克的地方 - 而其新的合作伙伴可以提供额外的营销和销售力量。 这可能最终的双赢双赢。

Yes, but what about Bosh?

A marathon session with our company's annual report last week has the ”YES, we've seen progress, BUT the following needs to happen” attitude oozing from my pores. In that vein, here's part one in a three-part “yes, but” series on Beijing (check back here tomorrow for part 2: “Yes, but I don't feel like corn-fed songbirds today”.)

YES , sports bars such as The Pavillion , Frank's Place and The Pomegranate have been nice additions to the scene over the past 18 months. They provide even more places in which to view rugby, cricket and that mesmerizing pursuit known as Formula 1 (zoom! zoooooooom! zoom! zoom!). BUT why is there nary a bar for North America league sports? I'm talking National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Football League (NFL).

Really, Beijing doesn't have enough Americans, Canadians or people in general who like these sports to keep a bar, especially one that makes a decent burger, in business? Not enough people to turn the NCAA basketball tournament into a cash cow that brings in three months of revenue in a few weeks? Really, a place couldn't survive by sponsoring the local ice and grid dogs, and being a hangout for beer, pub grub and replays of classic games?

Take Saturday tonight: I desperately wanted to see the opening game of the Toronto Raptors -New Jersey Nets series, as: 1) it's Toronto's first playoff game in years; 2) New Jersey's star player used to be Toronto's star player until, many fans believe, he stopped trying and forced a trade, after which he returned to his winning ways (the fiend!); 3) it pits a group of upstarts against a team with three stars; and 4) I generally cheer for any team with a player named Bosh , especially if he looks a bit like the mascot (in this case, a dinosaur). Thus, I loaded my wallet for three hours of massive food and beverage intake, but where to go?

First, I called 5:19 . Owner Dave had a group just finishing with a Premier League game and they were interested in more soccer. 公平的。

Then, I called Goose and Duck . “Are you showing the NBA tonight?” I asked. “We can put it on,” came the answer. I arrived just after midnight and three minutes before tipoff only to discover they couldn't get the game. The staff was friendly and did their best, but even better had they checked the schedule before I took the 20-minute cab ride there.

With the clock ticking, I went to The Pavillion . Every TV featured cricket: that's what was advertised, said a guy behind the bar. I noted a TV, next to the door, that NO ONE was watching. “How about basketball on that one?” I asked. Nope, he said, if he switches the channel on that TV it also switches the channel on another one at the bar. NO ONE was watching that other TV either, I further noted. Nope, he said, Pavillion advertised cricket and – I guess – even if NO ONE was watching it, that's what The Pavillion would play.

So, I gave up. I went to my office and watched the game online. Instead of Beijing's sports bars, I guess my NBA playoffs budget will be split between re-heated Pizza Buona (the best delivered pizza in town, IMHO) and 7-ELEVEN .

I wonder how many other Toronto Raptors as well as Boston Red Sox, Seattle Seahawks, Edmonton Oilers, LA Lakers, Houston Astros, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Penguins and myriad other NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB fans have has this experience. Really, with four leagues comprising more 100 total teams with seasons that overlap, thus meaning there is virtually a game every day, a sports bar couldn't make money out of this? Until then, the number for Pizza Buona, on Gongti West Road, is 6551-3518.

Opening Shots 31, Part 1: High-end Hardships

High-end hardship : The closing of RBL , including Chicago blues bar Icehouse , was just a hint at the trouble faced by big, upscale, multipurpose establishments in this city, including numerous visionary projects launched in 2006. nhu , positioned as everything from restaurant to lounge to concert venue, is now open only for private functions as the owners look to remodel the place and better fit it to the Lido market. Rui Fu , brainchild of bar legend Henry Lee ( Vogue , Neo Lounge and Public Space ), has not taken off like his earlier spots. TRIO , a three-floor establishment anchored by Frank's Place at ground level, has fared better, but scaled back its initial prices at the ritzy Park Grill upstairs and wine-centric The Cellar downstairs. Meanwhile, Palms , which aimed to be the Chaoyang South answer to Centro , has closed after one year – its mall location brought high rents and low turnouts, and the owner is looking to reopen in April near the East Third Ring Road. Given this, Face , Capone’s , LAN , and any number of hotel bars and high-end outfits either in or about to enter the market have their work cut out.

Hanky Panky at Frankie's

My last visit to Frank's Place – with M-Dawg during the World Cup – was shortly after it opened and a disaster of forgotten orders, improperly cooked food and miscalculated bills. My most recent – with colleagues two Fridays ago – was better. Frank's opened in June as a reincarnation of Beijing's first non-hotel bar (b. 1989, fringes of Workers' Stadium, d. 2005) and is part of TRIO, which includes The Park Grill upstairs and wine-centric The Cellar downstairs.

We got to Frank's at 8 and, since most of the tables were occupied inside, parked on the deck, which will be covered with a tent and warmed with heaters during the winter, says Nicole Pang , who does marketing for TRIO. We ordered Qingdao and food. The nasi goreng was tasty, the wings okay and the chicken burger (55 kuai) huge, though the thick-cut fries were dead cold. The only annoyance was a considerable gap between when our dishes arrived. Oh, and one other thing: the two nearby patrons who thought it amusing to grab and tickle the female staff. One guy ultimately barreled into the restaurant (and the crowd) as he chased one waitress. Even worse, the staff kept coming back for more, the management apparently content to tolerate this hour-long show. My Chinese colleague asked several times in disbelief, “Is this common behavior in Western restaurants?” I pretended I didn't hear the question…

Frank's is a long haul for CBD dwellers, but one attractive feature is the new wine list. The original was ambitiously upscale and saw most bottles priced at 600 kuai or more. The revised one includes expensive vintages – Phelps Insignia 2002, for example – but also plenty of reasonably priced wines. Some 22 reds and 15 whites come in at 500 kuai or less, bottoming out with a Bodega Norton Barrel Select Malbec 2003 at 145 kuai, and there are five reds and four whites available by the glass (ASC is the exclusive wine supplier). I could see popping in with a group of friends and working through three or four bottles (as long as no large drunk men are trying to tickle my neighbors or me).

Beijing Boyce XXIII: Opening Shots

The lady bar touts and substance pushers seemed sparser on Sanlitun North the past few weeks. A recent stroll down the main drag attracted only six “sexy girl” solicitations, in contrast to the usual dozen, and not one “Hey man, want some stuff?” was muttered as I walked the side streets to Apertivo. Where hath the intrepid intruders gone? Perhaps they took advantage of the new Beijing-Tibet express and are on summer leave. Or maybe they were turfed by the notorious security guards at nearby Tongli Studio (true, no bodies have been found , but a telling sign would be if the area's kebabs suddenly tasted gamey). Whatever the reason, any break from these — let's be generous – carbon-based life forms is as refreshing as when strong winds occasionally dilute Beijing's air pollution. Unfortunately, it's usually just as short-lived. / Speaking of Apertivo , I've been there twice this month. The service is reasonable, it's a nice place to chat with friends on a pleasant summer evening, and things would be even better with an upgraded by-the-glass wine selection. / Across the street, Saddle offers a minimalist menu of burritos, Spanish fried rice, salsa and chips, and fajitas as well as Pepe Lopez, Camino, Jose Cuervo, Olmeca and Conquistador tequilas. These brands cover the less-than-100-percent agave end of the tequila spectrum and some premium varieties would surely be welcomed. Saddle also has something called “ Brett funnel ” on Fridays, which involves chugging a beer via a tube for 10 kuai, and is not for the faint of stomach. / The Pavillion has a two-for-one happy hour , 5 to 8 PM, that covers house wines, cocktails, soft drinks, and beer, excluding Guinness and Kilkenny. In addition to an excellent patio, The Pavillion also has: 1) proper wine glasses; 2) one of Beijing's more impressive Whisky selections; and 3) a slight identity crisis, since upon arrival patrons may come across anything from an alcohol-free graduation party to a beer-fueled rugby-mad crowd, with things thankfully tending toward the middle. / Maggie’s has upped its bottled Qingdao to 30 kuai from 20 kuai. Otherwise, it's the same old, same old, which means hot dogs out front, reliable music inside, and an ambience that doesn't live up to the former locale on Gongti East. / Shunyi-based sports bar The Pomegranate had a high-tech summer as it added a video projector, 42-inch flat screen, and wireless Internet access. My suburban friends tell me this is a good spot to sip a few beers, eat some pub grub, and catch a game. / DJ David Lindinger will spin all-plastic sets of “nujazz, groove and house music” at Q Bar on Fridays during September. This is a bit surprising since some owners were once strongly opposed to a DJ and since patrons seem to love the current ambience, which includes blues and jazz tunes. Q Bar seems to be drifting from the cocktail-first culture of First Cafe and Midnight , where two of the owners cut their teeth, and this will no doubt worry some long-loyal customers, including yours truly. I mean, this is like the city-specific that's Beijing putting a huge brochure-like picture of Thailand on its cover (oh wait, it just did that, or do I have a copy of that's Bangkok in my hand?). Or like me adding a dozen book reviews to my bar newsletter (oh wait again…). / Speaking of which, rumblings abound that Keiko Shirata , who owned First Cafe until it was chai'd about a month ago, is planning to open a new spot in Beijing. / Each of my four visits to Rui Fu has found this lounge/club increasingly busy and fun. My initial reservations have been cancelled by its spirited groove, interesting clientele and decent music (though a bit loud last time). The cocktails are a problem. As oft mentioned elsewhere, Rui Fu is a place to see and be seen , with last Friday featuring a marathon of seeing and being seen that left my ocular nerves exhausted and thus, having saw and been sawn , I resolved to wear an eye patch next time and thus maximize seeage and being seenage while minimizing strain (that is, when I return from my vacation at a coastal apiary - a sea and bee scene .) Putting preening aside, Rui Fu's menu includes numerous pricing oddities such as Johnnie Walker Red and Johnnie Walker Black both at Y35, suggesting the latter will increase in price with the club's popularity. Let's wait and see (and be seen) . / Capone’s plans to open a restaurant in Beijing. The general manager says his aim is to have “one of the biggest if not the biggest wine selections in Beijing.” / Also coming to the Jing: Hong Kong’s Park 97 and Middle-class America’s Hooters . / Finally, there are lots of choices out there for tonight, Friday, September 1. Frank's Place will hold an end-of-summer party with all-you-can-drink Freixenet sparkling wine (7PM, 100 kuai) and its weekly pool tournament (8 PM, 50 kuai per person, winner takes all). Summergate will have a tasting of South Australia's Kingston wines at Face Bar (7-10 PM, 100 kuai). Stone Boat has Muwen playing (9:30 PM), Q Bar sees its inaugural DJ night, and Rui Fu apparently has DJ Edmund , a friend of a friend from Taipei, spinning tunes.

所有关于安置:世界杯场地

这里是(主要)简要写在我观看世界杯比赛的各个场馆。

布朗

德国vs 哥斯达黎加 :这个地方是野生的,在比赛期间和党的震撼之后(主要是德国)的球迷啤酒水龙头充分的利用和酒吧顶部。 通常是空的后面的房间里挤满了桌椅和食客。 布朗有三个巨大的屏幕和大量小,最近增加了贝克Stella Artois的生啤酒选择,并给出了方便的世界杯时间表。 一般,我听到从这个地方的读者的好报告。

在馆

塞尔维亚和黑山对荷兰 :什么可说是在城里最好的天井前端是相当完整,有一小撮人里面。 食物是有限的烧烤自助餐 ,这是令人失望的,因为我一直的道路上的渴求玉米片以上。 青岛是特殊。 馆内两个大投影屏幕和充足的外部小屏幕。 这是在城里更放松的地方之一,虽然我听说过有关服务的评论褒贬不一。

书房

伊朗与 墨西哥 :可口的奶酪比萨和冷青岛响亮的舞蹈音乐(王牌相应的人吗?),这意味着没有任何评论,这有助于解释为什么的地方几乎是空的,这是不幸的,因为这是一场伟大的比赛被抵消。 服务非常好。

啤酒MANIA

英格兰主场迎战 巴拉圭 :有点小,超过平均场地疲弱,这是一个舒适的地方来观看比赛的同时畅饮谵妄震颤 (金发和黑暗)。 业主最近安装了一个像样的大小的投影屏幕 ,虽然我不幸中招,什么是可以说是到目前为止大多数游戏。

约翰牛的PUB

澳大利亚与 日本 :当一小群看着小酒吧方电视在楼上,有几个我们通过大屏幕等两名雇员徒劳试图让投影机的工作。 我花了15分钟,看着他们轻轻按钮,一个服务员耸耸肩膀,一个粗略的前瞻性守护神“东北人”大叫他的熟人,然后给自己一张红牌和左。

W体育酒吧

澳大利亚与 日本 :约50热闹的澳大利亚球迷们享受,两个大屏幕,一晚的集会,并赢得他们的球队(澳元,澳元,澳元,OY,OY,OY!)。 这里的工作人员可以处理开瓶器,但不认为要求任何复杂“,是有一个世界杯特别吗?”作为唯一在瑞典栏镇,宽为他们发送邮件调用从利群土地的主场比赛。

菲尔的酒吧

韩国与 多哥 :在打这场比赛,两个队的人数,等于在酒吧的顾客人数。 这是我和M-Dawg,他的存在比看足球(中国评论)少做,菲尔让我们从隔壁订购羊肉chuar。 没有停止的M-Dawg,有来自多哥的朋友,并主张,足球是原始的篮球先行者。 “在一个点,数千年前,一个球员决定要挑了球和罚入了网它,但他们发现这是太容易了,所以他们提出的净较小和放入空气,和这就是我们打篮球。“也许,光(声)理论,缺乏/球迷是偶然的食客。

在馆

西班牙主场迎战 乌克兰:我去那里工作相关的原因,并为游戏卡左右。 庭院是半满,可用在野餐桌子的座位,和铁板烧烤的距离。 馆已成立一个临时酒吧 ,与四五草案水龙头 ,外。

弗兰克的地方

厄瓜多尔主场迎战 Costa Rica : A friend and I popped into the reincarnation of Beijing's oldest non-hotel bar. He was impressed with the live guitarist before the game (tunes ranging from Neil Young 's “Harvest Moon” to John Lennon 's “Jealous Guy”), the screen on the sparsely populated deck out back (“If you could accuse that screen of anything, you could say you've never seen such a clear projection “) and the deck itself (“awesome”). And rather than whisking away my glass and its last swig, as is so common, the waiter asked if I had finished it. Nice.

Unfortunately, this was the exception rather than the rule. The staff didn't know the price of the special (BBQ plus one Carlsberg for 60 kuai) and first forgot our beer, then our food, then our utensils. They took my after-dinner drink order but not my friend's, charged us for a Guinness we didn't drink, wrongly recalculated our bill, and forgot my receipt. As for the drinks, my friend's two Whisky Sodas looked and tasted completely different, and my Martini came with a massive lemon slice on the rim (!), though the Long Island was decent.

This first experience of the fully functioning Frank's was slightly surprising given the bar's team of expatriate employees, numerous investors with Beijing bar scene knowledge, and seemingly eager local employees, including a number plucked from Browns . Several readers have cited similar service problems, though I've also indirectly heard that Frank's is a great place to watch the World Cup, especially since there are eight TVs inside in addition to the one out back (there is also a two-for-one special on Heineken). This is still a nice place to watch games and let's hope they get the kinks worked out with service soon.

RITAN PARK CENTRAL COMPOUND

英格兰主场迎战 Trinidad and Tobago : I envisioned a garbage-strewn field surrounded by pungent portable toilets, but instead found the one must-visit venue for World Cup viewing. The games are shown in the central compound , on the altar once used for sacrifices to the Sun god, where two big screens are mounted. One has English commentary and the other Chinese commentary, making it amusing as those watching the latter wait in anticipation every time they hear the cheers and groans of those watching the former. The compound is surrounded by circular walls , adorned with Chinese carvings , surrounded by trees . Call it a giant yurt with the top down . There is plenty of seating, all the Qingdao (15 kuai) you could want, and Mojitos (25 kuai), Espresso (around 15 kuai), pizza and more from Havana Light . The only drawbacks: the toilets are, in fact, a bit gross, and by the time the final game ends, the sun is up and it's hard to see the screens. The entry fee is 30 kuai and includes one beer. An added benefit is that you can pop over to Stone Boat in the late evening for some great live music.

啤酒MANIA

Argentina vs. Serbia and Montenegro : I arrived with Argentina winning 3-0 and before I finished my beer and my ham and cheese sandwich, it was 6-0. If anyone's team is ahead and needs insurance goals, I'm willing to stop by and provide my luck, in exchange for pints and snacks.

RITAN PARK CENTRAL COMPOUND

Ghana vs. Czech; Italy vs. US : What a great place to witness the fastest-paced and arguably most exciting game so far, as Ghana won its first World Cup match by knocking off the highly ranked Czech team, 2-0. They now need to beat the US, which put up a ferocious battle against Italy, and benefited greatly from that country's own goal. Three red cards, a bloodied face, and a futile Italian corner kick in each of the final five minutes. Great games, great location, great fun.

BROWNS

Japan vs. Croatia : Browns is simply a fun place to watch the game, given its good beer selection, tasty food and good layout. This is one place that does not have to be full to have a lot of energy in the air. The big group of Japanese fans beside me had a great time, although I think some of them had ulcers after that tight game, and as they headed out, the Brazilians flowed in, as Browns is apparently their World Cup home base (witness the huge flag on the east wall). This place is probably your best bet if you're looking for a crowd .

啤酒MANIA

Brazil vs. Australia : It was on the way home! There were more people sitting out in front (five) than inside watching the game (three), with Chinese commentary, but who cares when you are watching a valiant effort by Australia and sipping a Caipirinha made by manager Marc .

约翰牛的PUB

Mexico vs. Portugal : What a difference a quesadilla makes! John Bull Pub has been serving up authentic Mexican food on Fridays and Saturdays and did it again for this Wednesday night game. The result: tasty food and lots of people. Good time all around.

Frank's 1.2

The oldest non-hotel bar in Beijing, Frank's Place is back after a facelift and a change of scenery. A good portion of the city's long-term expatriate drinking crowd showed up last Saturday night for an invite-only launch party and reminisced about the place's original 1989 version, which was beside the City Hotel and reduced to rubble last year.* The reincarnation, across from Rosedale Hotel , is a high-end sports bar that offers excellent decor, layout and seating options, including sofas, booths, bar stools, and decks front and back, all of which were full of boisterous patrons fueled by a free flow of wine, beer, and barbecued burgers and hot dogs.

Manager Chris Adams had things smoothly running on opening night and Glenn Phelan ** has joined the staff after a recent stint at Browns . He obviously copied the latter's CDs, given the excess of old Michael Jackson songs. Mercifully, these were broken up by classics such as “Jump, Jump” by Kriss Kross and “Borderline” by Madonna. (Okay, I'll stop being sarcastic now. Welcome back to Beijing, Glenn.) The homemade “Frank's Place” theme song was a fun touch.***

Frank's Place seems likely to be popular with older expatriates, including those who patronized the original bar, who drive home to Shunyi from work downtown, who one cynical acquaintance later suggested are stuck in 1996 (ouch!), and who know one or more of the 24 investors (those I've met fancy a drink or two, preferably with friends, which should help business). The bar should draw some locals as well as people coming to the area to visit Frank's, its accompanying restaurant and wine cellar, and nearby establishments, such as Il Casale and Nhu . As for prices, Guinness is 50 kuai per pint, house red and white ranges are 40-60 and 30-45 kuai respectively, and standard mixed drinks are 40 kuai. A pint of Qingdao will cost you 25 kuai.

Frank's is on the main floor of a three-story establishment called Trio , which includes The Park Grill upstairs (opened June 4) and wine-centric The Cellar downstairs (set to open June 13). The triumvirate reportedly cost around USD1 million (including rent). The Cellar is unique to Beijing, with pint-sized suits of armor and wrought-iron doors up front, an arched roof, stucco and brickwork in a Southern European style and, for members of “Club 88,” onsite storage space for up to 32 bottles of wine. ASC Fine Wines, sole TRIO wine supplier, held a Penfold tasting in The Cellar during the launch party and it proved to be an enjoyable, though potentially noisy, place to swirl a glass of red and nibble on cheese, olives and bread, before heading upstairs to sit on the deck.****

* Frank's Place is named after Frank Siegel , now of John Bull Pub and Sequoia Cafe fame, who started the bar in 1989 and then sold his shares to Russell Probert and Roger Dutton in the late-1990s. The original venue was chai'd last year and Probert has since opened The Pavillion , on Gongti West Road, while Dutton is part of the team that re-opened the new Frank's Place. Frank and Jennifer Siegel were on hand for the opening.

** Glenn Phelan originally came to Beijing to work for The Pavillion last fall. Early this year, he left the Pavillion and took a position at Browns a few days after it launched. In May, he left Browns and returned home briefly – I seem to remember him saying something about brining back some Whisky from the smallest distillery in the land, but I digress – and has now not only joined Frank's Place, but also a list of intriguing Beijing bar people, which includes ASC Wine Owner Don St. Pierre , bartenders George Zhou and Echo Sun , and Agent Red Wolf .

*** Roger Dutton says that the theme song was “written, performed and produced” by 3Media Group (his media company) in Beijing and by 26 Music of Vienna, the latter being “the yodeling connection.” The song is about meeting, eating and drinking, he says, and “the very bad jokes on the 'un-cut version' were recorded by [investor] Haemish Campbell and me.”

**** And on the deck, enjoying glass number eight or so, Roger, Frank, Jennifer and I were making sounds with our mouths that we, at least, considered to be words, and stumbled on one of those ironies of irony. In short, Roger got inspiration for some seating in the new Frank's Place from an Irish pub in Ulan Bator. The Irish Pub had earlier gotten its inspiration from John Bull Pub. And since Frank Siegel manages John Bull and created the original Frank's Place, it seemed like everything had come full circle, completed the circuit, was all's well that end's well, it's a small, small world. Well, this all *seemed* profound at the time. By the way, Frank will soon open his second Sequoia Cafe, in Sanlitun, and says that Hooters, for whom he consults, will open a Beijing branch close to Worker's Stadium.

Beijing Boyce XVII: Opening Shots

Looking for your World Cup fix? The Pavillion and Frank's Place promise large outdoor screens, while Club Football , Red Ball , John Bull Pub , The Den , Goose and Duck (see below), W Sports Bar , Mojito , and everyone else and their goalkeeper will also be showing games. Is anyone out there (besides me) looking for a place to instead watch the NBA finals ? / Beer Mania has added Russian brews to its mostly Belgian menu. Canadian beers will soon be stocked, says management, meaning it's time to brush up on Canuck-isms, such as “two-four,” “toque,” “take off” and “LCBO.” / Meanwhile, Browns has added Beck’s (Germany) and Stella Artois (Belgium) to its draft beer selection. / A friendly place with good live Xinjiang music, Cheers has a spiffy new look, though management has maintained the happy hour: two-for-one until 10 PM, which translates into 10-kuai Qingdao drafts. (A tip of the shot glass to BB reader Eddie O , for buying the place a bottle of Wild Turkey : “If you're a Christian, you spread the Gospel. If you're a bourbon lover, you spread the Bird,” he writes.) / Speaking of which, after visiting Cheers, I had the munchies and headed for nearby Saddle . Given my previous experiences with poor service and fapiao troubles there, it was no surprise that I could not procure a quick burrito as the staff closed up. I took my money instead to Fish Nation , where I soon had some tasty eats. / Dave McCullough , the Grand Poohba of 5:19 , noted on that's Beijing's forums that, “ PiliPili quietly reopened… It looks absolutely gorgeous inside.” / Finally, this issue was pieced together fairly quickly, since I've been extra busy at work, have guests in town, and did not have my notes while putting together the final draft. My apologies if it goes down a bit rougher than usual.
