Somebody obviously thinks so - the guys behind the <strong>Paradise CVS</strong> liquor store/late-night hangout have taken over the spot that most recently housed the utterly rubbish Swensen's/Prima Taste, and are reworking the space into two venues.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2011/09/08/Talking-Pints-The-James-Joyce-Watching-the-Rugby-Tun-and-Weekend-Nightlife-Roundup">read more</a></p> http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2011/09/08/Talking-Pints-The-James-Joyce-Watching-the-Rugby-Tun-and-Weekend-Nightlife-Roundup#comments Events Bars Haze Lantern Rugby World Cup Talking Pints Tango The James Joyce Tun Iain Shaw Nightlife Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:00:00 +0800 thebeijinger 1293283 at http://www.thebeijinger.com http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2010/03/10/April-Fus-Day-One-Kuai-Drinks-at-Fubar <!--paging_filter--><p><img hspace="10" height="590" width="480" vspace="10" src="/files/u72781/200810_1Spot_N_Chad_Lager-1.jpg" /></p> <p>Fubar boss <strong>Chad Lager</strong> thrives on schemes and promotions that seem like <strong>madness</strong>. He launched <strong>Cinco de Drinko</strong> at <a href="http://www.thebeijinger.com/directory/The-Saddle-Cantina"><strong>Saddle Cantina</strong></a>, giving away <strong>half-price drinks</strong> for a whole day on the <strong>5th</strong> of <strong>every month</strong>. Later, after moving to <a href="http://www.thebeijinger.com/directory/Tun"><strong>Tun</strong></a>, he did the unthinkable and started a <strong>ladies' night</strong> on <strong>Fridays</strong> - in Beijing nightlife, this was the equivalent of declaring the world to be <strong>round</strong> in <strong>medieval</strong> times. Both ideas worked. Then Chad went off to open <a href="http://www.thebeijinger.com/directory/Fubar"><strong>Fubar</strong></a>, a &quot;speakeasy&quot; cocktail bar priding itself on <strong>large pours</strong>, <strong>quality drinks</strong> and <strong>good prices</strong>. All very sensible.
