    Daniel L.

    Fellow Yelper Tom R was having his Meet Up event in the Tenderloin so I decided to join his group along with Cassie J. The event took a stop at this Korean dive bar operated by Taiwanese bartenders. Comparing to the bar next door, this place does not have much of an ambiance except for a juke box, a couple of TVs and a lopsided foosball table. It was very quiet when the three of us arrived but the place finally lit up once Tom's group started to trickle in. Tom was very generous to put money into the jukebox and asked everyone to pick their favorite songs. The bartenders brought out fresh popcorn for everyone and my glass of Anchor Steam ($5) was refreshing but surprisingly expensive. Later, Cassie and I joined forces to play a game of foosball which was a lot of fun. Without much amenity, I thought this dive bar is more dependent on having a crowd than many others I've been to. Tom's event however, was a lot of fun and there were quite a few new faces with those whom I've met. The overall vibe was not as festive as I would have liked so I don't think I would be interested in returning unless Tom is having another event here.

    Literally the rudest people ever. I asked for water and they refused. This is the first bar I've been to that refused water it's insane.

    Small and cozy bar. Service was great. Was able to bring outside food that was nice because I love to accompany my drinks with food.

    Wow what a scam - the bartenders are rude and ask to buy them their overpriced drinks. Never again - stay away from this spot.

    So after our meal down the street at Hong Kong Clay Pot, Ryan & Nicole just had to lubricate…read moreourselves at LI PO before waddling off to Club Fugazi for the Dear SF circus show. The story at Li PO was that the last time they were there, the woman barkeep told Ryan he couldn't order his beer or pick their seats & made Nicole & Ryan get wreaked guzzling their signature booze bombs the Chinese Mai Tai!! I was warned to be ready to have my choice of liquor ignored! They both were presented with the required youth beverage, the dangerous delicious Mai Tai. Almost everyone else in the joint was sipping them too thru straws. I, being 79 & as it should be (having survived long enough), my old man Chinese cultural status of respected senior allowed me to drink what I wanted...a perfect shot of Fernet Branca digestivo (a very popular libation in both SF..given the Italian presence in No Beach...as is the same in Argentina at Estancia Ranquilco then off we waddle to the Club!

    Li Po is legendary, literally! Established in 1937, it'll be the 90th anniversary next year!…read more It's an old, vintage, retro, and historic bar, and it certainly feels like a lot of things in here are decades old, even almost 100 years old. The Chinese decor outside and inside add to the amusement, I felt like I was in the epic 1980s film "Big Trouble in Little China". Bartender has been friendly enough each visit. The legendary famous Mai Tai is a secret recipe, costs $12, and will give you a nice love you long time buzz with just one. The place was surprisingly moderately busy and lively on a Sunday night! Maybe this place could use a fresh paint job and remodel, but that would be a travesty to this old girl.
