Bars

Central might not have the underground kudos belonging to Hong Kong’s hipster neighbourhoods but who cares when the area is home to some of the best cocktail bars on the planet.

Some Hong Kong bars are way ahead of the trend with excellent mocktails every bit as creative as their alcoholic offerings. Here’s where to head if you’re getting on the wagon. 

Compared to the likes of whisky or sake, rum is still somewhat underappreciated in Hong Kong, but that doesn't mean there isn't a good selection of venues that pay homage to this nectar of the gods. In our opinion, its a wholly underrated spirit, with certain examples offering a complexity of flavours that rivals any single malt. This, and the fact that its such a robust base for a huge number of amazing cocktails means we feel it deserves its day in the sun.  RECOMMENDED: Looking for more spirit-specific bars?
