Post subject: What's Wrong With The British Bulldog Pub?

Lastly I hit the British Bulldog Pub on Urumuqi Rd and found that there wasn't even a spot in that pub, big chunks of chaps and hotties lined up outside the evtrance as if they were spilling out onto the street. I just can't help wondering how possibly could the outsiders get lined in and have fun inside within that short time length up from evening to midnight?

Someone tell me how could you deal with that situation if you want to jostle in?

the British Bulldog is no more. You mean the new Bulldog Shanghai? You probably caught them on their grand opening night, find a quieter night and you should be fine. But dont be surprised by its new Yankee flair.

The question you have to ask yourself is what IS right with the British?

I've only been there once. Not my cuppa tea, guv. Not into theme pubs. They're wank at home and wank everywhere else.

Now that I have recovered from that stinging rebuke from gabriel76.

Was at the opener. Nice enough place. but...they can call it the Bulldog if they want. but the decorations and them is still The "British Bulldog. Sign is still over the door in fact.

Other knock IMO is the location. Bit away from anywhere.

It's near M-Factory which is hilarious and that kebab joint. And just over the road is some other stuff. So it ain't all bad. Pity the Bulldog sucks ass.

Yeah, what were they thinking. Right smack in the middle of the French Concession? Who can be bothered.
