On October 26, beloved speakeasy, restaurant, and live music venue Foxglove announced its closure through a heartfelt Instagram post, posted through the words of its fictional founder, Frank Minza. The news came as a shock to both the bar’s regulars and Hong Kong’s live music scene.
Over its decade of operation, Foxglove has undoubtedly become a staple in the city’s nightlife and entertainment industry. Its 1950s-inspired interiors offered an extravagant recluse for creatives, gourmands, and everyone in between. The speakeasy-style restobar was known for its innovative cocktails, live music performances, and a menu of delectable dim sum. It certainly also helped that Foxglove’s iconic entrance masquerades as a fancy Kingsman-like umbrella store, and customers have to pull the correct one to access the restaurant proper. As one of the few Hong Kong venues offering a platform for local and international talents, Foxglove’s presence will be dearly missed once its doors shut permanently.
But rest assured, the speakeasy is going out with a bang. From now until the end of December, regulars and fans of Foxglove can expect its usual offerings plus seasonal specials as Halloween and Christmas roll around. Highlights of upcoming performances include sets by On Point, Chris Palanco, The Carpio Brothers, and The Bloodest Saxophone.
Meanwhile, visitors can continue to enjoy Foxglove’s 10th anniversary dining offer. At $280 for lunch and $380 for dinner, you can enjoy a premium cut of US Angus ribeye or Wagyu Bavette with unlimited fries.
Foxglove is located at 2/F, Printing House, 6 Duddell Street, Central and will remain in operation until December 31, 2025.
