Sit outside
Description:
This giant bar offers pub grub, decent Irish fare, Chinese food and a wide selection of beers and cocktails. Still, everything is tinged with a Chinese element that makes is more comical than authentic. The staff are unfriendly and downright disappointed when customers come in, but this is typical service for the city (minus most foreign-themed establishments). Molly Malone's has never earned a following in the city owing to it's service, inferior replicas of western food and small pours, but if you're in the area and hungry the lunch special isn't a bad deal.
The decor, on the other hand, is fantastic. Real wood beams line the ceiling and an impressive long bar graces one whole wall. In summer, the terrace is open and you'll have the opportunity to dine and drink in the Beijing sunshine.
