Sunday, November 1, 2026, 4:00 AM - 7:00 AM · Peking Tavern, DTLA, Los Angeles
Peking Tavern celebrates its 13th anniversary with a Halloween costume party themed around dead or alive celebrities, complete with drink specials and prizes for best costume.
A DTLA basement hideout where Tsingtaos are cold, the dumplings are plentiful, and the vibe feels like a Beijing expat’s after-hours clubhouse. It’s brick-walled, string-lit, and just cramped enough to encourage communal tables and accidental oversharing. The menu leans Northern Chinese comfort (skewers, hand-pulled noodles, plates built for the center of the table) while the beer list keeps things easy and unpretentious. Still the only spot in LA pouring baijiu, a fiery traditional Chinese spirit.
Braised beef shank, cilantro, scallions, sweet sauce in a flaky handmade wrap.
Handmade noodles tossed with ground pork in fermented soybean sauce.
