Lotus Downtown

Solid bass. Casual and mostly unpretentious House crowd (No kiddy ravers). Efficient bar set up with a crystal dragon, which pulls the whole place together into a coherent concept. This is my go to place for House. Frequent mainland DJ's as well as the local scene.

First Friday (FF): Expect some hip hop sets, a mixed crowd (Manifest overflow), two rooms, two DJ's. Cover.

Non-First Friday (NFF): House, Drum&Base, Deep House, Bassy, scenester crowd. Cover for special events.

Yakitori stand is A+..

Hands-down the best bar for Electronic Dance Music in Chinatown.  There are different and multiple DJ's every week, and these range from local audiophiles to mainland celebrities.  The front room DJ usually provides great dance tunes, which is good because there's plenty of room to dance.  The back room (complete with back bar) generally has a different vibe, and the tunes back here range from trance to hip hop/R&B.  

The crystal dragon above the bar, laser displays and fog machine set a classy ambience, but the super friendly, laid-back staff keep the place casual.

One caveat would be that it can sometimes be a little empty on weeknights, but that can be nice if you're cruising with your friends, and even when it's dead, it often picks up a little later in the evening.

*The bar-owned food cart in front of this place has AMAZING STREET FOOD!  Even if you don't go inside, you gotta get those grinds!

The DJ's that come through to spin are amazing!  They bring in the most incredible DJ's from local ones to ones from around the world!  I like the variety of music styles that come through to spin!  The best place to here and dance to the best house music I have heard spun here in the islands!!!  The staff is so welcoming and most kind!  I feel at home every time I go to Lotus!  I try to get to Lotus at least once a week to unwind from my daily stresses to the awesome music played as I dance the night away!
Wednesday nights is slow on people dropping in which is sad because the week nights the music is just as amazing as the weekends!  Lotus never seems to let the people down when it comes to music!  Whether the DJ is some big name DJ or some of our islands local talent the music is always great!!!
I love that they have opened up another room so that now they are able to cater in music to more people!  They will play one type in the front and another type in the back!  I find myself jumping rooms because the music is just to great in both rooms!
Lotus feels like home to me and I go every chance I get even if it is to stop in for an hour or more because it just has this nice positive vibe that even on my long exhausting workdays I just have to stop in for!!!
