This kind of pub seems to be a dying breed these days. Instead of offering neon-glowing dance floors it provides nothing but good beer and good conversation in a long room with a long bar. Its walls are festooned with a bewildering array of exotic trinkets and portraits of ancient Chinese gods, making for perfect conversation jumpstarters. The bar-staff is friendly, as is the crowd. Weekdays are mellow, but on weekends it becomes so packed that finding a seat borders on wishful.
