In Short
This convincing old-time Chinese dive keeps the musty mystique going with hanging paper lanterns, carved-dragon ceiling panels and big mirrors. A beautiful, keyhole-shaped doorway leads from the main bar to the back room, where would-be opium smokers lounge on low, comfy chairs and couches. Loud, romantic music ranges from Frank Sinatra to Al Green, perfect for imbibers on the prowl. The full-color folding matchbooks are among the best in town.

1. The WORST drinks I've had since I moved to Los Angeles(7 years ago). $8 and watered down to the point that even the bouncer said the drinks were bad. 2. If you like women, go elsewhere, the crowd while nice was less than desirable. 3. No hat policy? What is this Massachusetts? Well if it was MA they'd allow Gay marriage so somewhere this whole state and within this state this bar has gone HORRIBLY wrong. Do not go here.

i have re-visited this bar for the past 10 years, it is one of the best little bars i have been to. my husband and i had our first kiss here and many drunken nights. this is a great date night dive - plus a fun social place to gather with your trendy friends (but get there early for a good seat). the drinks are great, the bar gets busy so i suggest you order 2 drinks at a time.

Alright, so this is a really great bar. I've been here a handful of times... and I've recommended it to quite a few friends. The jukebox is good, (not f*cking incredible) the drinks are good, and the bartenders are slightly slow, but I think they always are at bars that get so crowded. (And it does get really crowded). However on a week night, it's ultra mellow for a more relaxed time... so your experience can be totally different. Only, the last time I went there the bartender charged me twice for my tab... but I took care of it and just think it was an honest mistake. Definitely worth checking out.
