I think this place is too expensive for me. A cup of beer can be 70RMB. It's crazy. More

We used to be regulars at the Thumb Plaza branch Monday night burger deals. After checking out several other similar offers, we feel this was the best. Was sad that the branch closed down and we live too far to hike on down to Tongren for the same...pity. More

Malones was my first Shanghai dinner way back in May of 1996 when I started traveling to China for work. Over the years it became a favorite place for Sunday brunch with friends. The last few times this year it has not been as busy as in the past - and the prices have finally joined the general inflation -... More

This place was a 5 minute walk from the Swissotel Grand and the kids (18 and 20) wanted a little taste of home. They ordered ribs, I ordered a Club sandwich and we all ordered a drink Say "ee ping pee joe" if you just want any beer, or "ee ping Heineken" if you want a Heineken etc. Very easy.... More

We only go for the Monday night beer/burger special. Malones is what it is - a typical college bar transplanted to Shanghai with all the pluses and minuses that implies. Atmosphere is fun if you're in the mood, live music is uneven but enthusiastic and food/service OK if your expectations are reasonable. Soccer vibe as far as sports go but... More

Consistently the best bar for a casual beer and live music. Malone's is a typical American style sports bar. I won't call it a family place cos there are quite a lot of working girls at night..funny how I had to help one of them translate when they approached my husband not knowing we are together:)) Nonetheless, we love the...

Went there for the cheap burger & beer Monday deal. Amazing how the price hasn't increased in the 3 years i've been coming to Shanghai despite the 10% annual inflation rate. Got there about 8pm last monday and the place was packed! I mean the tables for all 3 floors were taken and jam packed.....the only place I could get... More

The place might be ok if you like listening to live music and get drunk (better arrive already drunk, the female singer was ok but the male singer missed almost every tone and forgot half of the lyrics ;-)). I went there in hope of getting a nice burger. I didn't expect to get the best burger in my life,... More

'rubbish' is a soft adjective to describe this place and the service i have experienced here on more than one occasion. There are plenty of comments - recent ones - concerning the arrogant waitresses, the poor food (and ketchup servings!), the way that they are seemingly unable to manage the 50RMB beer and burger promotion etc etc. The Malone's idea...
