The Yen tickets are almost half price if you buy in advance-does anyone know where to get them?

The Yen party SUCKED BIG TIME last year!
tickets were expensive, no complimentary drinks came with it.
we needed to wait in a very long line to buy drink tickets and more waiting at the bar to get the drinks....
some guys who had tickets couldn't come inside ( i didn;t know why..?!)... no seats... when we got tired of dancing, we needed to squat on the floor... the ushers were VERY RUDE... the venue was not good enough...the music wasn't that good either.the floor was wet with spilled drinks, spit, sweat, vomit... you name it!
it was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

"The Beijinger's Halloween Party" in 2006 was great though...
That's what a halloween party should be.. nice setting... great performances, a lot of freebies.....
how come you guys don't organize this event anymore? or maybe you did and i just didn't know about it... (?)

we stopped last year when it became apparent that virtually everyone and their brother was going to hold a halloween party, and pretty much all on the same night, effectively splitting th crowd into unpredictable directions, so we decided to give it a break. Fun parties, but altogether too stressful.

Alfa (located down the small street across from Mix and Vicks) is throwing a Halloween party on October 31, combining it with its weekly Friday night 80's theme. I saw a poster for it, looks like there'll be lots of really good giveaways and food and drink specials between 8pm-10pm. Costumes are optional, though the theme is "Naughty High School Halloween." Best of all, NO COVER!

Go with FREE. If it has drink specials even better...

Trust julethief and majisgone:

Alfa and Paddy O'Shea's both have awesome music and a "big halloween party for grown ups" with 2 for 1 deals on drinks (Alfa from 8 to 10) - can't go wrong with 2 for 1 - Both close to Worker's Stadium, so if you don't like one, check the other.

Also free and cool:
Obiwan - For a laid back reggae type of crowd
The Pomegranate - Not quite familiar with this one

Hm I must say Naughty Highschool Halloween at Alfa and Dead Guys Ale at Paddys sounds like a tempting combo.

ps: I know a lot of foreign students are going to the Acupuncture gig, but I'm like..hell no.

Offtopicrantfollows: Ive never been to Alfa, and Paddys scared me away with their 50 rmb for a Guinness in January, I mean come on, that would be a rip off even in Europe, but maybe it's time for a second chance tho..Rogue atleast is good beer, unlike that Irish sewer water.

Why is there just no place in Beijing with decent UK type ale on tap, instead of the usual factorymade Guiness/Erdinger crap? Now, that would get my attention!

Loads of us headin to Paddy O'Sheas. Good music and REAL cheap drink.....
You can't beat 2 for 1 on real alcohol and proper measures in this town.....

here ya go:

I can accept that long transport pushes up the prize. Ok. But that it is popular doesn't make it a decent stout. Indeed, popularity is often the hallmark of crap. Many factors are at play in the wide and sadly too often exclusive distribution and sale of Guinness, and Guinness qualities as a stout is likely a minor one. I am a beer connoisseur, and to me, it is indeed crap, nomatter how many you sell. I shall not hesitate to repeat that I would be very pleased indeed to see you bring about some "real" ales, casque marquee ofcourse, not the "fizz added" kind. Oh what a treat it would be!

But, the above said, and the tempting offer on 241 on microbrews of Rogue quality indeed a redeemer, I shall hereby publicly and hastily revise my critiscism to include only the Guinness beer itself and not the Paddy Oshea's pub!

It shall be my pleasure to enjoy a good beer in said establishment very soon indeed. Obviously a much better choice for Halloween than the megaparties! See you there
