Moongate Lounge

We both ordered very spirit forward cocktails but they were excellent. Fun cool vibes inside. The oysters were delicious. We also did the salt and pepper squid. It was a bit on salty side which got me drinking the cocktail a bit faster than I should have

Fun and vibey cocktail bar in the heart of Chinatown. The space is beautiful, perfect for either a small friend hang-out or a date. They have several cute little couches scattered throughout, as well as cozy booths for a more intimate, walled off ambiance. For walk-ins, they also have a number of standing cocktail tables around the bar and in the back by the live DJ. What really makes the ambiance special, though, is the giant moon gate in the back of the bar. It's absolutely beautiful and perfectly combines traditional Asian elements with the modern neon lighting, DJ set, and disco ball. The music is upbeat and just loud enough to set the mood, but the space is also open / quiet enough that it's easy to hold a good conversation without straining your ears. The drinks are also fantastic, with a great mix of classic cocktails and house specials. Their old fashioned was tasty, as well as their house grain rain, which was delightfully fruity and bubbly, but well-balanced and not overly sweet.

Such a beautiful bar! Good music, fancy cocktails, cool bartenders- great atmosphere overall

Stunning and spacious interior, great espresso martini, and loved the DJs they brought in the night I went! Wasn’t super busy on a Thursday night. Love that it’s more of a cushy/chill vibe.
