"As the name suggests, Ace isn’t merely a watering hole: It’s also a full-service pan-Asian eatery and ping-pong parlor, all packed into a sprawling former auto-body shop. The beverages are seriously good, but playful in concept—shots of bourbon with kimchi backs, highballs filled with housemade soda, or a carbonated tiki punch with whiskey, pineapple-infused rum, and oolong tea. The food is just as delightful, with holiday-themed soup dumplings, housemade fortune cookies, and Thai rolled ice cream. Ping-pong, punch bowls, and pork-belly potstickers are enough to keep even the most restless crew entertained for hours. So long, that is, as none of them break the house rule: “Absolutely NO beer pong.”" - Ruth Tobias
