I have seen walk-in closets larger than all of Ned's, but the owners have made great use of the space. It's split into two floors, connected by a not-quite-ladder, not-quite stairway.
The decor is reminiscent of a sports pub in the Australian outback, threadbare furniture and long-expired season calendars from backwater junior college football teams. A big framed newspaper describing the long-ago criminal exploits of an Australian guy named Ned, the owner perhaps? If anyone knows, they're not talking. There is no extradition to Australia from China, is there?
Anyway, the drink prices are reasonable, and they have stuff you won't find anywhere else. Bundaberg! VB! If you drink enough, maybe you'll see a few 'roos hopping by too when you look out the window.
Ned's is the closest you'll get to Australia in Dongcheng. Stop in sometime, stay for awhile and have a few.
