More information on Buddha Lounge
Nestled away in one of Chinatown's most bustling locales, this "smoke den" keeps a mysteriously low profile despite the crowds of Chinatown locals and curious hipsters who file in around noon and leave when the moon is up. Inside, a five-foot altar to Buddha watches from behind the bar as drinkers relax in Cantonese-style red vinyl booths. Enjoy the mysterious atmosphere with your favorite drink between bouts of sightseeing or after a long day at work at Buddha Lounge. Patrons claim that this is one of San Francisco's best kept secrets that's not to be missed.
