A good Irish pub needs more than an Irish name. It’s got to have the heart and soul of Ireland. We’re talking about more than a pint of Guinness. What we mean is they’ve got to have the grub and a little traditional Celtic music thrown in. The place should have dark wood tones and dim lights, just enough to break through the smoke. Mooney’s has got all this and more. Sure, there’s the Guinness. But they’ve also got Kilkenny, Beamish Irish Stout, Heineken on tap, over 40 whiskeys and even Chimay Red Top. Order up a pint to complement the great food: Shepard’s Pie, Beef Stew and Dublin Coddle.
The drawback here is most definitely the price, with dishes ranging in price from 58 to 88 kuai. But, unlike many places, at Mooney’s the price fits the quality. We came in on a quiet Friday afternoon and ordered up some Guinness Stew, a Caesar Salad and some more Guinness. The stew was, well, fei chang hao. The Caesar Salad was tasty, although unconventionally topped with pork ribs. After the meal, we let the waiter talk us into some dessert: the Mooney’s Cheesecake, which was most definitely the highlight of the meal. You can do lunch or dinner here. The advantage to the latter would be that after eating you can continue drinking and stick around for the live band that’s here every night.
