Nine Bar
Cocktail bar
👍👍 The only speakeasy in Chinatown (as of June 2022). It's beautifully designed inside. Their drinks are Asian inspired, quite strong, and not too sweet. We went during their soft opening so the menu was limited. We tried all 4 cocktails on the menu and all were good. I liked the paradise lost the most...
