2009 Dec 24 Molly Malone’s - the Most Irish Irish Pub in Wangfujing
Real Irish pubs are run by Irish people and characterized by a good pint, a welcoming atmosphere and maybe a bit of televised sport. While Molly Malone’s isn’t Irish-owned, it is certainly the most Irish Irish pub in Wangfujing.
Your pint of Guinness or Kilkenny will cost you RMB 55, and your Irish whiskeys RMB 40-45. Like any self-respecting center of Gaelic inebriation, Molly Malone’s features a sushi bar. More familiar bar snacks include Irish stew and beer-battered fish and chips. Essentials like a happy hour and theme nights, including ladies’ and guys’ nights, will follow soon.
Daily 10am-2am. 90 Jinbao Jie, Dongcheng District (6522 7258)
