Club Tango Beijing
August 5, 2007 | Author: Carl Pei | Filed under: Nightlife

By a rare stroke of luck, I’ve managed to gain a great contact. She works in the Beijing nightlife scene and can get free tables and drinks for friends at clubs around town. Without going into more details, we hit to Club Tango one night.
Club Tango is a nice, newly renovated place located near the south gate of Ditan park. Inside, there are many rooms for karaoke, but also a regular club with DJs, bartenders and tables. Tango is more known for their karaoke than their club.
We got a three-sofa table group and were 7 people. We had sweet strawberry cocktail shots, fruit plates, 3 bottles of Johnny Walker Black Label and lots of soft drinks. The Black Label was mixed either with ginger ale or grape juice. Both were good, but I preferred the ginger ale version.
Between the Black Label drinks, I had some pure Black Label. On one shot a bartender and also part-owner of the club set the 43% JW shot on fire with his lighter. It was pretty hot, so I dropped it and set the tissue on the table on fire - a small embarrassment. That night I also learned a drinking game played with dices. It’s pretty fun and I’ll probably cover it some time.

Carefule while you’re playing Chinese “Liars” dice…your “professional armchair” friends are notorious for cheating. Plus the “flair” of the dice rolling in the cups can be distracting ;).
