    Posted by WarrenRodwell 12 December 2006

    The well-established Shamrock (Irish) Bar is something of a landmark meeting place for Chengdu expats and locals. Up to 150 people per night roll up for music and fun on a Friday or Saturday evening. There is a free pool table, as well as live international sport (such as Aussie Rules, cricket, rugby, and soccer) televised on several screens throughout the bar area. The beer garden out front provides an excellent alternative for those who wish to generally chat.

    Every Day: 10.00am – 3.00am

    BAR FOOD SPECIALTY:
    Pub grub includes the popular Shamrock burger and chips. Add lettuce, tomato, cheese, egg and / or bacon to your own liking.

This can be washed down with a variety of local and imported beverages including Irish draught Guinness beer.
