Hop Louie, Los Angeles

The famous, if not notorious, dive bar of Chinatown Hop Louie stands as testimony to the olden days of barflies and speakeasies while still drawing appreciative patrons to this day. With its quirky exterior and cozy interior, there is poetic shabbiness to the place that lends it a discreet charm. Cheap drinks and tasty eats agreeably round out the experience. A few come here for casual late night dining, easy on the pocketbook. It's highly recommended to plan a visit to Hop Louie if you're spending the afternoon strolling through the old square, tossing a few coins in the nearby wishing well and poking around neighboring gift shops. - Jamie Zum
