Maybe the biggest closure of 2015 so far. Malone's, that sports bar on Tongren Lu is set to close at the end of April. Been there since 1994, serving up burgers and Filipino covers while creating an environment conducive to low-rent business-trip adultery.

And who better than long-time Shanghai resident The Admiral to eulogize over the place: "Malone's: Reliable for ordering up a blue cheese burger via Sherpas, or, conversely, dining in-house and getting the blue cheese directly from the working girls."
