Creative cocktails & DJs in historic Chinatown digs, tropical flair
"This Chinatown bar with two floors—one jade green, the other a sultry dark red—hosts DJs spinning classic hip hop, R&B, moody pop, and Sade all night long. Drinks are made fast and strong. Everything, from the wooden tables upstairs to the velvet couches to the vintage DJ booth has an old-school Chinatown look. And on any given night, you might see college kids dancing their butts off or 30-year-olds nursing a tiki cocktail in the corner." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"Originally opened as Man Jen Low in 1880, General Lee’s Cocktail House has a rich history and is now a trendy spot offering cocktails with Asian influences, such as green tea shots and baijiu-based drinks." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This Chinatown outpost for cocktail culture has been a key stop for drinkers since its inception in 2014, with its low, sultry lighting and inventive menus. Today, it remains a crowd favorite with, among other concoctions, the Lost Sunset, featuring The Lost Explorer Mezcal. Grab a drink and check out the goings on in the performance space, which features both live performances and DJ sets." - Robert Spuhler
