"Jerk tried to charge us full price for a corked bottle of wine. Brick? Dick.  Grinders just down the road beats it and Plan B over at 22 Arts Plaza blows it away.  AVOID."

"Best burgers in Beijing hands down. 2-for-1 burgers on Monday. Owner used to run Grinders. Divorced, hence name Plan B. Canadian, eh."

"For those who've been in Beijing a long time, this is where the Goose & Duck gone and went. Familiar faces. Quality food and drink. Good location. A wee hint of Scotland, maybe?"

"A lot like fish'n'chip shops in the UK. In the 1960s. Dr Who fans and other time travellers will appreciate the blue and white checked table cloths. Have a G&T with your F&C."

"Best western grocery shop in Beijing by far. This one isn't as big as some of the others but mostly does the job. Good cheese selection and reasonably prices Western alcohol."

"Not as good as Unconditional Love Café directly across the alley. But at least their WiFi works. Coffee is good but service, what service?"
