Editorial Review for Li Po – by Daniel Liszt
In Short
During slow evenings, a couple on a date may be engaging in dice games at the bar, while the barkeep plays cards with regulars at the far end of the snaking counter. Beneath a giant hanging lantern, a Buddha statue sits in contrast to the souvenir shop-quality photo of San Francisco's skyline. On busier nights, the red booths in back host boisterous barhoppers.

this is the best bar ever. you will get a lot of value for your money. my friend and i were attracted to the bar by the fact that it looked like a cave from the outside. if you love dive bars and happen t be in the vicinity of chinaown, definitely check this out. the bartenders are very gracious and they have a lovely tabletop pacman arcade game. the drinks are great!!!! one tip: take public transportation!!! you will be sloshed and parking's not easy to come by. and another: watch out... the stairs down to the restroom are quite steep, so hold on to the rails
Pros: inexpensive, fun, GOOD DRINKS

I work in the Financial District, but live in North Beach. I often walk home through Chinatown. After many hard days, I have stopped into Li Po for some cold beers and to relax while watching the game. Low-key place that is a great diversion from the SF scene. Great for after drinks with your friends.
