The V

The V's looks like a cross between a dungeon and a child’s birthday party, with plastic bats and gaudy chandeliers dangling overhead. Hip Chinese youths recline in plush, blood-red chairs, huddle around coffin-shaped tables, and sip the specialty “Tru Blood Cocktails.” The cocktails aren't particularly well-mixed, but the safety of bottled Tsingtao is an option. Good for some amusement the next time you’re feeling goth.
