The store fronts in Beijing were very interesting. I didn't know anything about this place called 'Drunk' until I got home and looked it up. Turns out it's a craft beer place.
Here's some of what smartbeijing web site had to say: "With a place called "Drunk" that serves its own beer, I was expecting a dive bar with beer to match. It's not that. It's not that at all. Drunk is right at the intersection of Dongsi Nan and Jinyu Hutong. It bisects the brisk walk between about seven high end luxury hotel chains (Park Plaza, Crowne Plaza, Novotel, The Peninsula, et. al), and the massive, glittering, and unending Wangfujing shopping street, home to countless glass-steel-marbel luxury malls, and international brands like Gucci, Fendi, Apple, Prada, Swarovski, um... Swatch watches, you get the idea. This is modern, modern China. This is where tourists go. Drunk is three floors of bar, brewhouse, cafe, live music stage, film room, private rooms, and buffet restaurant. It's pretty full-on.
That is a wonderful name, and I can't help wondering if it's a result of the less than idiomatic, out-of-context use of English which we sometimes see here in Toronto--the example which comes to mind is a Chinese restaurant on Bloor St. called "Nice Chinese Restaurant".
