Skip to main contentA couple of blocks north of Burnside you can get the official tour of Old Town-Chinatown's 19th-century network of underground passages, notorious for their use as holding pens for unfortunate "Shanghaied" drinkers while they awaited sale to shorthanded ship captains. Just south, you can sit in one such tunnel and get wasted while listening to Slayer. Clearly, little black paint was spared during the conversion to underground bar, as Shanghai Tunnel retains an appropriately eerie "what happened here?" ambience and typically blasts a metallic soundtrack to match. For those of a less subterranean temperament, the heated outside patio offers some of the finest people-watching in town.
