This weekend, head down to Grand Plaza Club House for a BYO drinks pool party, celebrate International Yoga Day at the opening of Ringside’s rooftop terrace or bring home a furry friend at one of the many adoption events across town. Read on for our top picks this weekend.

One viral song and now everyone is all about mojitos. In tribute to the Mandopop star’s hit summer single, Charcohol is offering buy-one-get-one mojitos (88rmb each) every day from 3 to 8.30pm alongside its daily happy hour.

Halcyon Days

Born in 1980 in Little Rock, Arkansas and trained at New York Studio School, Brooklyn-based artist Todd Bienvenu paints autobiographical works – beaches, phones, parties and sex – in an unrestrained manner and with a distinctive style. Splashed with heavy strokes and bright colours, his pieces explore the sensuality and fragility of the human body but with a lot of humour involved. Appointment necessary at 6312 0260.
