This post will have all of your news and info about our Chinese New Year, which you can purchase below here. Watch for regular updates here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

DRINK UPDATE: Chengdu will be BYOB this Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023. They’ll have a liquor license soon but not by this weekend. So, feel free to bring your own and drink at your table. AFC will have beer, wine, plus some misc. liquor for you too. We will keep an honor system of a $5\/drink donation for our liquor table. Our hope is to break even there, so feel free to imbibe at the AFC Bar! Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
