O'Reilly's Beer Garden

Kunming


This Yunnan-based chain of Irish pubs actually hits pretty close to the mark with a massive beer list (though disappointingly no Chinese options) and spirits and cocktails, as well as a short but appetising selection of western and Chinese dishes. On breezy Kunming nights, the patio area is a delight, particularly if you make it over during happy hour.

It's inside the commercial annexe of the Kunming Hotel, accessible directly from Dongfeng Donglu.
