Chinatown is getting a splashy new nightclub Friday, a throwback to ’50s-era glamour By Janelle Bitker
For the first time in more 40 years, a splashy nightclub is debuting in San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Lion’s Den, opening Friday, is an attempt to return to old times in the neighborhood: The goal is to bring back the glitz and glamour of Chinatown nightclubs from the 1950s and ’60s, when venues drew celebrities as famous as Frank Sinatra. There were live bands and showgirls; patrons wore tuxedos and fine jewelry.
This history is on loving display inside the new club, which was co-founded by Steven Lee, an owner of Chinatown’s legendary Sam Wo Restaurant, who also spent years in the music scene. There’s a wall full of photos from that era, and cocktails created by Garrett Marks, bar manager of Michelin-starred neighbor Mister Jiu’s are named after former Chinatown venues, such as Forbidden City and Twin Dragon.
