Seems like every bar in Chinatown has karaoke... except Li Po. If you want a cocktail with an Asian touch but without a shrieking pop wannabe, swing into Chinatown's coolest bar. People from all over the world have "cocktailed" here, and the bartender proudly pastes international currencies on the wall behind the big gold Buddha to prove it. The Buddha's altar is covered with candles but don't be afraid to rub his belly: It's good luck! The original wall painting is based on an ancient Chinese battle, you can easily envision yourself being part of this epic struggle after a few drinks. That is, if you're not gaping at the gigantic chandelier lantern -- it's truly indescribable.

lipo lounge is rocking on thursday nights,dj richie panic, and others bring downstairs alive with music to make all the hipsters and scenesters sweat and dance if you are ever in that area on a thursday night, you have to go inside and find out for yourself why this bar is off the hook.
