‘Seedy’ was never quite the right word for Goodfellas. This watering hole’s reputation was always an unfortunate case of guilt by association. But with its former neighbors out of business and its neighborhood out of commission, perhaps this dive can reinvent itself. It seems it’s already begun to. For starters, the owners have had the foresight to move to what is fast becoming a happening nightlife strip. They’ve also put in a patio. And yet the drinks remain around the same price (RMB40 for imported beers and most cocktails). Unfortunately, the new ‘Fellas has lost some of that gritty lived-in-local appeal. For instance, they’ve left the snapshots of drunken punters on the walls of the old location, and it’ll take years to fill the place with graffiti again. All the same, we’re glad to see that it survived.
