First issue of the Beijinger is out! » The Beijinger by Paul Pennay Yes folks, the wait is over. As of today you'll finally be able to get your hands on a crisp, freshly printed copy of the Beijnger. The debut issue's cover feature is devoted to our Reader's Choice Bar and Club Awards and is accompanied by Nightlife editor Matt P. Jager's own picks of the best places to slum, schmooze and sparkle around town. As Matt says, the results of this survey should be a guide, not a gospel. Chances are that there are some pretty chill places to have a brew, hiding out just around the corner. But until the day you stumble upon some hidden treasure, it might be worth taking a look at what our readers collectively consider to be the cream of the crop. Aside from Q Bar (Bar of the Year, Best Cocktails) and Saddle Cantina (Best New Bar, Outstanding Cocktails) other big winners in this year's awards include The Rickshaw, which not only took home the honors for Best Happy Hour, but also managed to win the awards for both Best Place to Start the Evening and Best After-Hours Spot. A contradiction in terms? Newcomer White Rabbit won the clubbers' vote, taking home awards for Best Electronic Music and Best Place to Dance, while Centro held strong and retained the mantle of Best Business Networking venue for the fifth year in a row. Old favorites Bed (Best Place to Bring a Date, Best Lounge ), Lush (Best Student Hangout, Best Value)and Suzie Wongs (Most Beautiful People, Best Place to Find a Date) all took home awards in more than one category. Also in this month's issue, Halla Mohieddeen talks to Chinese designer Xander Zhou; Oliver Robinson and Venus Lau speak with Tiago, Beijing Guo'an's Brazilian striker; artist Olivier Mosset tells us why his work is really nothing special; and Matt P. Jager chats to some very eco-friendly DJs. All this, plus a handsome selection of new bars, restaurants and shops to offer you respite from the sticky heat of July. |
