About two or three years ago, I was always curious every time I walked out of Qixinggang Station of Metro 1 Line. Where is the old pub in Chunyang mentioned on the Internet? It wasn't until one day that I happened to see some people sitting under the stairs on the side of the road, and then I saw a shabby signboard among a pile of signs, which read the words "Chunyang old pub", that I suddenly realized.
It is hidden under the stairs under the road. If you don't look carefully, you won't find it when you pass by.
Like most fly restaurants in Chongqing, the environment is very poor. Next to it is a waste collection station.
But that doesn't stop diners from coming here. They are in droves, calling for friends. Whether it's a well-dressed modern girl or a disheveled middle-aged alcoholic, they are all bohemian and unrestrained here, which is probably the interest of Chongqing hot pub.
1986 This restaurant has been in existence for 30 years. At first, it was just a place for coolies to have a few drinks to relieve fatigue. Three years ago, business was average, and all the guests were regular customers. Sometimes I pass by after work at night and still have a seat to sit down.
The power of the circle of friends made it quickly popular, and maybe everyone was tired of the red tape in the hotel. In this messy place, no one cares whether you are rich or diaosi. Everyone is the same. Order some cold dishes, shout a few pots of plum wine, guess whatever you want, no one laughs.
Gradually, it became popular, and it took a long time to buy a seat.
The dishes are all Jianghu dishes, nothing more than walnuts, white meat with garlic paste, live lettuce, tender beans, vegetarian chicken, steamed pork with flour, etc. But it is such an ordinary dish, and the taste is just different. Lettuce is also alive. Its peppers are hot but not dry, and its bones are fragrant. With sesame sauce, it tastes refreshing.
There are more than a dozen kinds of wine, such as loquat wine, mulberry wine, apple wine, orange wine and so on. Of course, plum wine is the best seller. In summer, iced plum wine is cold, sweet and sour, and a glass of wine makes you cool. It is warm in winter, and three glasses of wine are enough to drive away the cold. Unfortunately, there is no chance of snow in the main city of Chongqing. Otherwise, when the snow is fluttering, we can have a drink with two or three friends and recite Bai Letian's "Old bottles are new green, and there is a trace of red in the quiet stove". There is a feeling of snow in the dusk outside. How about having a drink inside? . "
The weight of food is very small, and the price of a small plate is very reasonable, ranging from a few dollars. Sometimes when drinking starts, and the food is not enough, I call the waiter and bring the food back to the table, which saves the trouble of ordering.
Now, after giving up drinking for a long time, my friends and I go to his house for dinner. Although the food is still delicious, I can't enjoy it. After all, something is missing. This may be why it is called the old pub.
