Editorial Review

Don't confuse with nearby Hop Li or Hop Woo. Feckless alcoholic womb tucked in narrow Opium Den Chinatown crawl space beneath a tiny tower. Cheap drinks, "Crazy" on the jukebox, and barkeep pictures drawn by local artists as atmo placeholders. Cubists be forewarned, Grandpa Bill is sensitive about his head. Used to be occasional free drinks and full of friendly faces; now it's crowded with t-shirts that cost a Benji and Vans designed by Neckface.
