Top 10 Places to Drink
-
1. Aqua Spirit
Sit in a cubbyhole facing the window and sip a glass of bubbly as you watch the harbour light up.
-
2. The Lobby Lounge
The best harbour views in Hong Kong are to be found in the lobby of the superb Hotel Intercontinental. They are well worth the price of the drinks.
-
3. Phonograph
The music ranges from indie rock to metal to reggae, much to the delight of regulars who used to haunt Chemical Suzy at the same address.
-
4. The Bar
On the other hand, 007 would be right at home in this upscale watering hole. A delightful refuge from the madding crowds – but prepare to pay through the nose for beverages.
-
5. Biergarten
This is Hong Kong where land is at a premium, so despite the name don’t expect a garden. Do expect an authentically German hearty friendliness, plenty of German beers on tap, and a German menu. Stays open until 2am.
-
6. Schnurrbart
German brewing at its finest, although the delicious ales on offer take a while to pour. Perhaps a schnapps while you wait…
-
7. Balalaika
Chilled vodka shots in a room at freezer temperatures. A fur coat is provided.
-
8. Bahama Mama’s
A little worn around the edges, but still the best watering hole on trendy Knutsford Terrace. DJs play a range of sounds, there’s table football (“foosball”), surfboards and alcoholic slurpees.
-
9. Bottom’s Up
Horribly, horribly sad and tacky – it featured in James Bond’sThe Man With the Golden Gun . Worth a look, just for historical purposes, of course.
-
10. Ned Kelly’s Last Stand
This place has been here forever, as has the jazz band. Foot-tapping tunes by the crustiest, most grizzled bunch of musicians this side of New Orleans.
