Chi Chi
Included In
Chi Chi is as ridiculous as it is fun. Equal parts nightclub, casino, and grownup Chuck E. Cheese, this neon-lit bar in Koreatown is home to virtual drinking games where you can win more than just a debilitating hangover. Each table is equipped with a tablet that lets you chat with neighboring parties and wager beers and soju over basic games of skill and chance. Whichever table loses the game pays for the bottle, but there’s a good chance the winners will share it with you out of pity. If high-stakes wagers aren’t your thing, you can also win prizes for your table, like ice cream or various bar foods like chicken wings, tteokbokki, and (previously frozen) mozzarella sticks.
