Opened in 2007, the bistro Fangqin is the second branch of the bistro, and it is also the first livehouse in Chengdu to provide professional stage and equipment. Compared to the MixC store, it is completely in the form of a bar. The mottled stage and the wall stickers are the best testimony to the status of the tavern.
The area of the Fangqin store is not large, and the venue is spread out in an "L" shape. In addition, the second-floor space made of steel is only more than 100 square meters. Band stickers, photos and posters are the biggest features of the Fangqin store. A large number of logo stickers left over from the band are plastered on the walls of the tavern, the stage and even the toilets. Many photos of the performance and posters of the band, which span more than ten years of history, are all placed on the wall and booth on the left side of the tavern, giving a strong sense of history.
The stage of the tavern is located at the bottom of the "L" shape, facing the lobby and bar area of the tavern. Depending on the style of the performance, the tables and chairs in the room will be emptied in advance, and dozens or hundreds of standing seats will be provided to the audience. Although it has been in operation as a livehouse for more than 10 years, the sound effect is still at a high level. The volume and loudness of the performance are moderate, and the sound of each frequency band is appropriately balanced, so as not to cause excessive burden on the ears. It still has the ability to deal with various types of music performances.
The opening of the Bistro Vientiane City store did not reduce the Fangqin store to a second-tier performance venue. At present, the frequency of performances here is similar to that of the MixC store, with an average of 10 performances per month, and the time is also concentrated on Friday and Saturday evenings. In addition, the quality of the performances here is very consistent, with a focus on folk and pop rock. Whether it is a new force in the emerging music scene, or a long-established senior, they are all willing to perform here. Taking the first half of 2018 as an example, Taiwanese music rookie Zheng Xing, the domestic post-shake famous group returned to pocket time, and folk singer Wang Zhengrong all presented wonderful performances for music fans.
In terms of alcoholic beverages, the pub has a large number of bottled beers, foreign wines, wines and cocktails for customers in the complete wine list, and there are also famous liquors such as whiskey, rum, brandy, and vodka. First-time visitors to the bistro may want to try their own "Ruin Brew", which is slightly sweet, moderately bitter and has a delicate malt aroma that can be easily enjoyed whether the wine is good or bad.
Nowadays, even when not performing, the pub is often full, especially on holidays. Due to the limited area of the tavern, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people during the performance, so the audience should abide by the rules and regulations of the venue and pay attention to their valuables.
