Drinks & Nightlife
Ace is a restaurant with a great bar atmosphere and delicious asian/american fusion style offerings. AND you can rent ping pong tables for the night. This area on 17th Ave is a great place for a more low key night, instead of a clubby/high energy night. *Tip* Get the tiger wings for a late night snack!

Hands down the best Karaoke bar I have ever been to. This place has two floors for busy nights, so more people can sing. And the drinks aren't expensive at all! Wide selection of songs, almost everything you can think of. And it is only a couple blocks away! Seriously. Check this place out if you're into karaoke.

This place has traditional pub food at cheap prices, but the real reason you come here are the infused shots. Everything from pickle and pepperocini to reese's and strawberry pineapple! Great place to get the night started, and you're already downtown in Lodo to explore more of the nightlife.
