Bar 98. If you're a climber this is the place to go. Right in the middle of town, on the water. Wireless internet and a pool table. The mixed drinks are real - a lot of Chinese run places have very weak drinks that aren't worth the price. Also, just a nice bar feel with out the too-loud pop music. Don't miss 'Quiz Night' on Tuesdays. �
