Danger Doyle’s tonight: What better combo than Ireland, free pizza, and martinis?

beijing-boyce-bar-blog-danger-doyles-2

Danger Doyle’s (map) is extending last Monday’s free pizza deal to every Monday in May (from 5 PM), because thin-crust pies is what Italian Irish bars are all about (and haggis, we can’t forget the haggis). Anyway, I popped in for the inaugural event last week and discovered the following:

- Each patron receives a free six-slice pizza.

- If that is not enough, you can have a second. DJ Chunky, with an image to uphold, put down a pair of pies. (He pondered a third until I threatened to put on a bulletproof vest as protection against his heart inevitably exploding. Now I understand why this place has “Danger” in its name.)

- Martinis are RMB20 on Mondays. One customer described them as “OK” in taste and good in value.

- There is also some kind of beer special, as our three bottles of James Boag’s came to RMB72 rather than the RMB90 I expected.

Danger Doyle’s has other specials during the week, including a deal where you pay full price for your first draft, then receive 10 percent off the second, 20 percent off the third, and so on, until eventually you get one for free (if you make it that far).

Hot Chocolate: I want the same suit, but perhaps two sizes bigger

True, I write about Chocolate (map) a lot, but then again the place seems to be the talk of the town, given the number of friends who have mentioned it to me, the number of emails I have received about good experiences there, and the number of five-star hotel people who call me late at night asking for the location. So, here is one more photo, deemed a tad “too hot” for an upcoming edition of City Weekend that will feature a story about spots in the Yabao Lu area, including Chocolate (reprinted with permission). By the way, did anyone else notice the oil painting is crooked? No? OK…
