I was here on a Monday night in January and The vibes were immaculate. Two stories draped with some very impressive house plants. Two bars, one upstairs and one down, but only the downstairs one was operational when I was there. There is a friendly bouncer at the entrance but no line and there was no cover charge when I visited. The entrance directly opens to the wishing well. They don't have a patio space but there are some benches outside if you wanted fresh air or to make the air outside less fresh 😉. There was plenty of seating inside and plenty of excellent locations for people watching and wall flowering on this evening. There were a bunch of people there but there was still pretty good flow and it wasn't muggy at all which I really appreciate. I ordered a Lucky Buddha Lager which was only eight bucks. If you know that beer, the green glass doesn't protect the lager very well from light exposure so if it's been on the shelf too long, it's not good, but this one was really good so I think they turn that beer over pretty quickly. They have a pretty fancy / fun cocktail menu and the crowd was really friendly. I didn't look for the restroom at all on this visit but the fact that I didn't notice a line for the restroom tells me it wasn't too crowded either. I will definitely visit again soon.

They do not serve food at this establishment. If you are buying a section, you can bring in outside food (finger foods only) for your group. The establishment is cozy and decorated nicely. There are two floors and two different DJ's playing different genres of music. The dance floors get packed with people and it gets hard to move. Ladies: don't wear crazy high heels because the floors get slippery, as people drop their drinks. The bathrooms are gender neutral and a crazy line forms as the night progresses. If you buy a section, they serve you this spiked punch. Everybody loved it and you definitely get buzzed before the night is done.

Finally stopped by General Lee’s!

So many recommendations and good reviews, I had to.

On a Saturday night; it was a packed house.

Solid, inventive cocktail menu. (No food served here)

They also serve red wine and Cava. A plus if you ask me.

Every server I talked to was nice.

Good Dj and good music. A cool hang out in the middle of Chinatown.

Unpretentious and eclectic crowd. Loved it!

Maybe more bathrooms downstairs would be nice?

But I’ll be back ASAP!

Happy holidays everyone!

I stopped by during one of their mahjong events Thursday night. It was crowded. I would have like for them to have a bit more variety of mocktails, overall we had a good time with friends but since it was crowded we didn't get the chance to play mahjong. Some mentioned there were a lot pro players. There was also a dance area so that was nice

I had a phenomenal time at this bar and the main reason was Phillip. He was a great bartender who was fast, communicative and friendly. There was a large group of people and he held it down, and got to everyone promptly. This bar is lucky to have someone like Phillip.

I can’t wait to come back

Always crammed and stuffy, but they've had some good music the couple times i've been. Drinks are pretty standard. Expect a line, but i'm glad i've never had to pay a cover!

Nice place with 2 floors. Sometimes there are 2 DJs which makes it more fun imo

The atmosphere on Jazz Tuesdays is fantastic, definitely a 10/10. However, the bartender took 20 minutes to serve me, and when I finally ordered a beer, she went to serve other people at the bar. Additionally, she prepared the drinks with her bare hands, handling the fruit after touching her hair and receiving money, which I found unhygienic.
