Uncle Chan Beer Station

Mandalay


A cut above most typical beer barns, Uncle Chan has a huge range of barbecue (from K200) on offer, as well as Burmese-Chinese dishes (mains K3000 to K5000) and polar-cold brews in frosty mugs. Stretching several blocks up 73rd St from here are a few equally lively eating and drinking spots.
