Smith's Union Bar
That’s right - old school is how these guys roll. The patrons may be more on the colorful side, and the cleanliness is questionable, but believe it or not, Smith’s Union Bar is actually a happening spot in Chinatown. Take a break from the lengthier lines of the neighboring bars to enjoy a classic P.B.R. (You can’t beat $2 Budweisers.) And know what? The best times of the entire night can be had here. There's karaoke, and the bartender will shoo away anyone begging you for money. The bar even has its own state holiday, and it opens at 6 a.m. Awesome!
