What is it? Bar Leone (2024 Time Out Hong Kong Bar Awards’ Bar of the Year and winner of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024) is a casual Italian-themed bar on Bridges Street in Soho, founded by award-winning mixologist Lorenzo Antinori.
Why we love it: It is a fun, no-fuss venue that reflects the playful character of its founder. They offer excellent and approachable cocktails perfect for your next night out.
Time Out tip: Keep your eyes peeled for Bar Leone’s sister venue, Montana, a Cuban-inspired bar expected to open in July 2025.
June 2025: We’re in the thick of Hong Kong’s summer, which means even going for a casual walk will leave you covered in sweat. While staying at home and lazing in front of the air conditioner is a great way to keep cool, we prefer to do so by enjoying chilled cocktails at one of the city’s best bars. If you’re planning to do the same, remember to keep an eye out for our 2025 Bar Guide at these venues!
Much like Hong Kong’s restaurant scene, our city’s bar scene has something for everyone, whether you prefer to sip spirits on the rocks or enjoy fun and creative cocktails. We’ve drunk our way through Hong Kong’s drinking dens and narrowed them down to the 50 best bars you need to check out. Scroll through this list before your next bar-hopping adventure to get the low-down on each of these venues.
