The price displayed gives the impression that you're paying 6.3 RMB per bottle (19/3).
The actual effective price is 12.7 RMB per bottle.
I agree with the previous reviews that these overpriced joints are run by some rather dishonest people.

One example of Jenny Lou's shadiness: I was at the Dongzhimen branch this past weekend. I saw that they had bundled 3 bottles of Erdinger Weissbier together with heavy tape. On the tape, it read "buy 2 get 1 free" in Chinese. The price tag on the shelf below the beer showed "19 kuai" (or something around that). I did some quick mental math: 19 kuai divided by 3 is a little over 6 kuai a beer. "Rad!", I thought to myself. "That's cheaper than that 500 ml green can of fancy Qingdao I get at the smelly Nong Chao Shi by my place."
At the checkout, it rang up as 19 kuai per beer. That comes out to over 12 kuai per bottle of beer, not a bad price, but it's twice as much as Jenny Lou's clever marketing would have it seem to be.
Not sure where you learned math, but obviously each bottle is 19rmb, thus 19x2=38/3=12.66rmb per bottle. You buy 2 at 19, and get the 3rd free...don't know where you think their sinister plan comes into play....
