you can bring your own wine. not sure about beer though, but i am sure it's fine since they serve both beer and wine. i was there last friday and brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate something. went well with beginning courses, such as dan-dan noodles, cold sesame noodles, eggplant with garlic sauce and beef tendons. however, as KRS remarked, beer is the way to go. they have tsingtao, which is fine for me. it's crisp and light; i would hate to have a dark brew with that type of food.
as for dish recs: the aforementioned dishes, tofu with spicy minced pork, whole fish or shrimp with blackbean sauce, any of the sliced meats in fresh hot pepper, string beans w/dried pepper, scallion and egg fried rice, double cooked pork, and enhanced pork. that's what i had last time i was there and it was all good. i also tend to order the same things over and over again, so i am sure many other items deserve a taste as well. people frequently give props to the tea-smoked duck. while i think it's ok, i did not find it all that exciting. if you're really adventurous, try the stinky tofu. it smells awful but the taste is actually quite mild.
