Nov 7-27: Pop Up Doggy Cafe
For the month of November, Penny’s will be transforming the Artemis garden into a dog-friendly café and play area.

Pups can also be pampered with some of Penny’s dog treats or a bowl of hot bone broth. Penny’s will also be hosting weekly dog-friendly brunches on the Artemis terrace on Saturdays and Sundays.
Nov 7-27. 11am-7pm (Tuesday-Sunday). Artemis, see event listing.
Nov 9: US Presidential Election Results
In case you forgot (which would be impressive) the US presidential election takes place on Tuesday. Well, results will actually start rolling in at around 8am on Wednesday morning (Beijing time). In case you don’t want to watch the results all by your lonesome, there are a few places around town that will have live coverage of the election. Plus, they’ll have food and drink specials to either celebrate with or to numb the pain with, depending on how things go.
Nov 11: Speed Dating on Draft
This Singles’ Day the folks at Jing-A and The Big Smoke are offering an alternative activity to the usual buying-cheap-crap-on-Tmall: six rounds of speed dating and drinking. We know: awkward small talk with six strangers who may be DTF – does it get any better than this? Yes, yes it does, because six Jing-A beers accompany the six rounds. Each round lasts for seven minutes or until someone finishes their beer. So, get chuggin’ – or don’t, if you’re seriously digging the person opposite you.
Fri Nov 11, 7-9pm; RMB50 (ladies), RMB100 (lads); The Big Smoke, to register call 6416 2683 or email emmy@jingabrewing.com.

Nov 12: Pop-Up Bei-bling – Jewelry Workshop with Gengyi
Johnny is very well-known for his traditional Chinese jewelry designs. He’s actually created head-pieces for TV and film as well as designed pieces for the likes of Fan Bingbing. Impressive, right? As a new member of the Pop-Up family, he’ll be leading a workshop on Saturday. And if this is anything like their last jewelry design workshop, it’s going to sell out fast (make sure to reserve your spot!). During the workshop you’ll have the chance to learn from a master and create your own broach and a hair accessory.
Sat Nov 12, 3-5pm; RMB588. To register email hello@popupbeijing.com or call 6502-5725. Pop-Up Beijing, see event listing.
