Opened in 1949, this Chinatown tavern features a cast of seasoned regulars who look as though they came with the original furniture. Beery and a little grimy, the bar has a perfect soundtrack: loud blues played by locals and visiting dignitaries. The likes of Jeff Healey and Downchild (the inspiration for the Blues Brothers) paid their proverbial dues here. It can also be a good place for Dixieland.
