Dushanbe


This convivial Irish pub is standing room only with expats after work on Friday evening. At other times it offers a breezy, street-side venue in which to enjoy a beer and a plate of homemade sausages (179TJS), although the cramped table space and 'pack 'em in' approach won't please everyone.
