The Funky Buddha has always been home to a fun, good looking staff, ranging from a low key lounge to a packed pseudo club.  I have been going there for a while and have had a range of experiences all of which have been wonderful.  As a single woman, it is not overly intimidating and when there is no hot men to talk to there are always the bartenders!  They have a new back patio now and looks as though remodeling!  Can't wait and hope in maintains that trendy 'cheers' atmosphere.  Try the mojitos!  A little $$$  and more of a destination place but always worth stopping in for a drink and a cigarette (you can smoke upstairs)!
Pros:  Trendy Cheers feel, don't feel like I am the only single woman there
Cons:  A little pricy, more of a destination point
