Editorial Review for Cha Cha Lounge – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The sign on the door says it all: "If you are racist, sexist, homophobic or an asshole, do not come in." Spilling over with all types of rockers and pseudo-hipster hangers-on, the indie-rock music vibrates the strings of campy red patio lights. Decor combines velvet paintings, sombreros, 1950s kitsch and booths with lacquered images of Mexican wrestlers. Skip the mediocre margaritas in favor of straightforward well drinks or ice-cold Tecate in a can.

My first and only time at Cha Cha's was not fun. I liked the sombrero's and the funky stuff on the celing. But i had one of the worst lemondrops ever!!! maybe I was in the wrong place to get a martini but seriously i was only able to handle one sip....it was straight alcohol, i tasted no lemon.....so it was just a drop? I guess it's fun if you just like beer. oh and we were sitting right at the bar and it took the bartender about 10 minutes to notice us. awesome.
Pros: the ceiling.
Cons: drinks.

It seems like people have a strong reaction to the Cha Cha lounge – either they think it’s full of hipster wanna-be twenty somethings or it’s too mainstream and yuppie. Yes, there are yuppies, yes there are hipsters – just like most of the bars on the hill. It’s a good mix of people and you can meet some really neat characters there. The new location is just fine. If you liked the old Cha Cha you’ll like the new one too. Give it a try, it might be your favorite bar around – go with an open mind and have a Rainier.
Pros: Cool as ever
Cons: too cool for some, not cool enough for others
