Grand Khaan Irish Pub — Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

I really liked this pub, and for a relaxing drink or meal it’s a great choice, whether you’re out with friends in a group or even alone. The place is huge, with seating at the bar, numerous sized tables as well as a semi-outdoor area, which is heated and covered. The service was friendly as well as being super fast with the drinks. Everyone could speak adequate English and there were no issues getting the attention of anyone for additional orders - there was never a need to use the ‘call bell’ on the table!

There’s a huge food menu available and since I was only looking for a small snack I ordered from the ‘small bites’ section. However, the plate of chicken bites which turned up was large enough to feed a family! Great value for money as a result and, for what it was, it was tasty.

It doesn’t really have any Mongolian culture, other than the beers offered, but despite this I’d return next time I’m in the city and it’s a friendly...

Well, where to start. My first visit to the Grand Khaan Irish Pub was for St Patricks day. I did expect live music or any music, a busy location and specials on the menu for drinks and snacks. What did I get a few workers wearing Guinness foam hats, and a tacky string of Guinness decor. They had Guinness as thr only special and no theme. I understand we are in Mongolia, but if you try to be a large Irish pub, at least paint the wall mural behind the band stand to match some version of Ireland or Mongolia. Currently looks German. The bar was dead, a few business meetings and that was it. The fries came out cold and the Guinness was okay. I've been to Ireland and other Asian countries Irish pubs and this was the worse. The furniture is decent but the atmosphere...

It’s a 100% famous turistic place, called “Irish” but with almost ANY kind of Irish food or drink (at least the beer , but nope). The waiters are very kind, but service is extremely long, especially for grill: I’ve been told a waiting time of 40 minute and it was 1h30’… and the meat arrived cold… ultimate comment: the grill was producing an incredible quantity of smoke, obliging several customers to move the table meters away from their position… ASVISABLE IF: you want a different place to eat instead of the Mongolian traditional restaurants. NOT ADVISABLE IF: you hope to find an Irish pub and an Irish beer… for my experience not a good place in a city offering so many variety...
