Voting for the BJC Bar and Club Awards ends at midnight tonight. Vote now if you haven’t already, it’s easy — the ballot is above. (UPDATE, next day: Voting is now closed. Sad.)
Also: we will officially celebrate the winners on Saturday at 11 pm at a party at the Sanlitun Kro’s Nest. We guarantee ours will be rowdier and drunker than the Beijinger‘s afternoon shindig for their thingymajig.
Coverage of the BJC Bar and Club Awards isn’t over. Stay tuned.
