Since opening in October, the BCC has become the closest thing to a Western-style drinking establishment in Iraq, the place to go for Cuban cigars, fresh cuts of beef and a decent bottle of Bordeaux. On a clear April night, the white plastic tables in the garden fill up with an assortment of Green Zone archetypes: broad-shouldered security contractors walk in with dates in tight tops and high heels; a handful of diplomats mingle in blazers; a construction worker wearing a fishing vest that reads BAGHDADDY meets his friends at the end of a 12-hour shift...
