About Li Po Cocktail Lounge

Li Po Cocktail Lounge is a historic venue and cultural landmark in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown. Established in 1937, the lounge is famous for its signature Chinese Mai Tai, a potent and secret blend of ingredients that can be very strong. The decor combines traditional Chinese elements with modern touches, reflecting the evolving neighborhood. The lounge also features a hidden bar beneath, offering a vibrant and gritty atmosphere with music and comfortable seating. With friendly service and delicious cocktails, Li Po Cocktail Lounge is a must-visit spot for any night out in Chinatown. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, though the Mai Tais are sometimes inconsistent—some super strong, others a stiff drink. Mama, the bartender, cuts people off after about three Mai Tais because she makes them so potent. The casual fun vibe makes it feel like you've traveled far to get here, perfect after feasting on Chinatown dim sum. Now a must-stop when in Chinatown SF.
