The Opium Bar is located in the Little Portugal area. The bar's space is set up with dim, purple lighting and hanging lanterns to replicate the ambiance of the surreptitious Chinese opium dens from the 19th century. It has a tendency to fill up on the weekend and is a great spot for a cool, yet low-key weekday dinner.

Great venue for a party, affordable/ reasonable minimum spend, and I like that it didn't have to go on one bill. I ordered snacks to go toward the minimum spend, and they were excellent. Great responsiveness from the owner, Michael, and excellent service.

We reserved Opium Bar for my husband’s 30th birthday! Communication with Michael prior to the event, at the event, and even after the event was fantastic. The staff has a great system in place, ensuring your guests don’t wait long for their drinks. We had an absolutely amazing time at Opium Bar and would recommend to anyone searching for a venue!
