Lowdown

Getting better with age. Laidback, cheap, rec room chic. Spacious enough to get your grind on. Arty little bar boasts a smoker-friendly garden out back, a Chinatown pedigree, a pool table, and a fish tank. Crowds pack the joint for dozens of live music shows (every night but Monday), plus spoken-word, cool retro DJs. New ownership, but still divey enough to retain hazy memories of venue's junkie past.
