General Lee's: Reviews & Ratings
Awesome weekend nightlife spot. Music is great, bouncers are friendly, speakers are super high quality (strong bass) and not overly-loud, and free self-serve water. The Ringmaster goji berry cocktail is phenomenal. Only downside is it gets very congested and kinda hard to move around.
I had a phenomenal time at this bar and the main reason was Phillip. He was a great bartender who was fast, communicative and friendly. There was a large group of people and he held it down, and got to everyone promptly. This bar is lucky to have someone like Phillip. I can’t wait to come back
An excellent place to stop and enjoy incredibly well prepared cocktails in a luxe environment that enhances your inner calm. Or you can also stay for the DJs.
Trendy lo-fi, multilevel lounge with aesthetic decor, cocktails, and music. Lots to discover is this hideaway. Perfectly located in the heart of China Town with the theme to match.
i got a beer here, and it was alright. this place is more known for hosting mahjong underground every thursday - people just come here to play mahjong get drinks. it was my first time playing it and everybody was very welcoming and taught me how to play it. very cool experience!
Good vibes at night but also very millennial. Super nice bartender who took the time to answer our questions about the drinks
First time visiting General Lee’s, and I will definitely be back as I love this place Very big! Downstairs has a bar area as well as a places to sit, chat, and relax. Upstairs has a larger bar area, and an even larger sitting/dancing area. After 10pm there were DJs playing on both levels. Lots of fun to be had. Bathrooms were on point also! Our bartender Ian was awesome, and both of the drinks I was suggested were amazing... Highly recommended!
Chic yet casual nightclub with excellent DJs spinning rap and dance hits. Come for the music. Stay for the drinks and the dancing. Outside there is a nice patio to cool off if needed. Security and bartenders were hospitable. Will go again.
