Hop Sing Laundromat ready to serve
Hop Sign has passed its PLCB inspection and is now legally capable of serving alcohol.
Hop Sing Laundromat ready to serve
Who-needs-a-last-name publican Lêe, who's been stringing Philly boozehounds along for months teasing out his Chinatown cocktail bar Hop Sing Laundromat (1029 Race St.), tells Meal Ticket that he's passed his PLCB inspection and is now legally capable of serving alcohol. Of course, that doesn't automatically mean he's flinging open the doors to his dressed-up watering hole right away. In classic slickster fashion, Lêe was unresponsive to a guesstimate request on an official opening date. "Within the next five to six years," he avows. See you and your robot bartenders in 2016, dude!
UPDATE [3:10 p.m.]: Lêe says he'll announce his official opening date on Twitter (@hopsinglaundry), and that he will select 50 of the bar's Twitter followers to invite all-inclusive for the debut. I wonder if Lêe wants you to follow him on Twitter ...
