All your favorite Western poisons are available. Also on tap: the deafening cacophony of bright young things, local and foreign, that is part of the scene from Tokyo to Toronto. To be part of it, call (86-10) 6416-5615. Too tame? Pop around another corner to Club Vogue, on Gongti Dong Lu, where the state-of-the-art sound system has channeled the dubby deckwork of some...
