Geoff Ng…Around

Just about anyone on a budget who’s been to Shanghai has been to Windows, whether they wanted to or not.  It’s the kind of place you bring friends to because it’s THE dive bar in town.  Over the years a few have opened and closed, but the two longtime staples were always Windows Scoreboard (the original) and Windows Too (the dirty dirty hookup bar).  They’re not classy, but they know their target market and they hit it: RMB10 beers and burgers, two-for-one happy hours from 1am-2am, and beer pong on Saturdays.

Anyways, Windows Too got shut down a few months ago after getting busted for drugs/prostitutes/probably a combination of both, and it’s remained mysteriously quiet since.  Not anymore.  According to a friend working at Scoreboard, it’ll be opening back up for business on Dec. 16…mark your calendars.

In other news, Windows Scoreboard is now showing full hockey games.  But they’re also seriously thinking of raising prices from RMB10 to RMB15 in favour of more happy hours.  Whatever.  If there’s hockey I’ll be there.
