DTLA LIFE MAG #3 | MARCH 2014 | Page 43

WHERE AM I? ! Congratulations to Sean Harrigan, our winner of DTLA LIFE’s inaugural Where am I? contest. While many readers suggested numerous Chinatown restaurants and bars, this brass-toned Chinese Guardian Lion lamp graces the bar of the Peking Tavern, DTLA’s Chinese Gastro pub. Peking Tav- ern is located in the basement of the Na- tional City Tavern Building, 806 Spring Street on the southeast corner of Spring and 8th. Having guessed correctly, Sean Harrigan has won his choice of a bottle of house white or red wine to be enjoyed with friends at the Peking Tavern. Owners Andrew Wong and Andrew Chiu’s subter- ranean watering hole celebrates authen- tic Beijing street food, traditional Chinese dishes in xiaochi or small bites form (think Chinese “tapas”). The room is a fusion of old and new, there is always a fun event or promotion in the works. The staff is as friendly as they come.
