Festa Wine & Cocktail Lounge

This classy cocktail lounge on the second floor of Japantown's Kinokuniya building feels like it could be the smoke-filled setting of an old-school movie rendezvous. Maybe it's the soft glow of the red lights and the sexy red chairs. But despite the seductive swank, the place doesn't feel pretentious. It's quite small: a cozy spot for a date or to gather a few friends. Be prepared to pay $2 a song, which you can choose to sing in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese or Spanish.
