CHINESE TARVEN

I went to Guizhou for a trip last week and came to this pub by chance. It left a deep impression on me. It was the first time I came across a pub that featured rice wines from various ethnic groups. The seven kinds of rice wine they chose were very distinctive, with different tastes and different brewing materials. In particular, there was a storyteller in the store who told us the characteristics of various rice wines and the stories behind them, which left us with a deep memory! Maybe one day I will go to Guiyang again for this unique pub! Hahaha😄

The decoration is very atmospheric, quiet and comfortable, suitable for a drink.

Must-try! 7 Guizhou specialty drinks: Savor the flavors of Guizhou in one gulp. The restaurant has compiled a "Specialty Drinks List" featuring the distinctive drinks of each of Guizhou's ethnic groups. No need to travel all over the province—you can enjoy 7 authentic flavors right here, each with its own memorable twist: - Miao Sweet Rice Wine: Drink it with your eyes closed, ladies! Rice wine is sweet and clear, with the aroma of glutinous rice. Its alcohol content is so low that it's like drinking sweet soup. Chilled rice wine is incredibly refreshing, perfect for relieving greasiness in the summer and warming the stomach in the winter. You can even drink two bowls without feeling drunk. - Dongjia Kudingcha Wine: Don't miss this if you're adventurous! The slight bitterness of the Kudingcha tea balances the strong flavor of the wine. It's bitter at first, then sweet, with a tea-like aftertaste. It's gentle on the throat, and a delicate herbal flavor can be tasted upon savoring it. It's perfect with heartier dishes. - Buyi Seabuckthorn Wine: Made by Guizhou's "King of Vitamin C"! The seabuckthorn's sweet and sour flavor is incredibly rich, and the wine is a translucent orange-yellow color. The fruity aroma overwhelms the alcohol, making it feel like drinking "intoxicating seabuckthorn juice," and the fruity aroma lingers in your mouth for a long, lasting aftertaste. - Yijia Buckwheat Wine: A must-try for grain wine lovers! The buckwheat's caramelized aroma is prominent, mellow and not harsh on the throat. After swallowing, a light wheat aroma lingers in the throat, without any off-flavors. Paired with crispy foie gras rice, the aromas of the wine and rice complement each other beautifully. - Shuizu Plum Wine: A perfect way to relieve greasiness! The plum's sourness is strong, with a hint of caramel sweetness and a moderate alcohol content. It tastes like plum soup with alcohol. A sip after eating cold pine needles or watercress instantly neutralizes the spiciness, leaving you feeling incredibly comfortable. - Gelao Walnut Wine: A warming choice for fall and winter! The finely ground walnuts blend into the wine, creating a smooth, nutty flavor without any walnut astringency. It warms the stomach, perfect for those who are sensitive to cold, and leaves you feeling refreshed. - Tujia Acanthopanax Wine: A great choice for those who care about health! The herbal aroma of Acanthopanax senticosus is subtle, not overpowering the wine. The drink is gentle and not too alcoholic, offering both a winey aroma and a comforting sense of well-being. Elders have praised this wine as "comfortable." Must-order side dishes! Three "Guizhou Exclusive" items will refresh your taste buds. Don't assume the pub only offers fried snacks; the side dishes here are all "Guizhou innovations," especially the cold pine needle salad, crispy foie gras rice, and zheergen (Houttuynia cordata). Once you've tried them, you'll never forget them: - Cold pine needle salad: It's a blast the first time you try it! They use young pine needles, blanched in water, and tossed with Guizhou's signature chili peppers, minced garlic, and light soy sauce. It's crispy, tender, and slightly spicy, with a subtle pine needle fragrance—no strange flavor at all. Paired with rice wine, it's a perfect sip, and the flavor becomes even more delicious with every chew. - Crispy foie gras rice: A divine fusion of Eastern and Western influences! The foie gras is pan-fried to a crispy exterior and tender yet melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, coated in a rich sauce and topped with a Guiyang local favorite, crispy scallions. The salty, crispy scallions counteract the greasiness of the foie gras, while the rice soaks up the sauce and fat, creating a rich, rich flavor in every bite. Even half a bowl feels satisfying, making it a great main course or side dish. - Zhe Er Gen with Fermented Bean Curd: A local favorite! The young Zhe Er Gen roots are crispy and not woody, and mixed with Guizhou aged fermented bean curd. The salty aroma of the fermented bean curd permeates the unique flavor of the Zhe Er Gen. The spiciness is a mild, homely spice. Zhe Er Gen enthusiasts may need some adjustment, but fans will find it incredibly flavorful. Paired with bitter melon tea wine or buckwheat wine, the flavors become even more pronounced with each serving. The atmosphere is incredibly down-to-earth! It feels like dining at a local friend's house. The restaurant maintains its familiar warm, wood-paneled ambiance. Old photos of Guizhou's various ethnic groups adorn the walls, and the background music plays soft Guizhou folk songs, avoiding loud disco music. Whether you're enjoying a drink with friends or simply enjoying a drink alone, it's a relaxing experience. The staff, all locals, enthusiastically explain the origins of each specialty drink and recommend side dishes. There's no sales pitch, making it as comfortable as visiting a friend's home. Intimate Tips: Avoid pitfalls and save time. - Order the "small combo pack" for each of the seven specialty drinks, allowing you to sample a few without worrying about disappointments. Perfect for first-timers. - For the cold pine needle salad, ask in advance about the spiciness level so you can adjust it to your taste. For those who don't like spicy food, you can order the "garlic non-spicy version." - Parking is difficult at the entrance, so we recommend taking a taxi or electric scooter. Afterward, head to nearby Huguo Road for a bowl of Changwang noodles for a perfect finish. 📍Address: No. 128 Huguo Road, Nanming District (Xihe Tavern, search directly on the navigation) 💰Per capita: 110-160 RMB (drink combo + 2 side dishes, excellent value, budget-friendly) If you're looking for authentic local drinks and innovative Guizhou side dishes in Guiyang, Xihe is a must-try!
