Top 10 Places to Drink
-
1. Steamers
Make merry at Sai Kung’s most stylish pub, a big improvement on the dingy, windowless Newcastle Pub of its former life. Great for people-watching.
-
2. Beach Pub
Overlooking the bay and a 10-minute stroll around the waterfront from Sai Kung Town. The Beach Pub has bands on the weekends and a regular crowd of local Chinese and expatriates.
-
3. Railway Tavern
A welcome little watering hole near the Railway Museum in Tai Po. Just the ticket after a hard day’s rural meandering.
-
4. Poets
Don’t let the name fool you. Loud discussions about the previous night’s Premier League soccer matches are more likely than pompous declamations in iambic pentameter.
-
5. Duke of York
A Sai Kung institution. A faithful crowd of regulars can be found every night and weekend propping up the bar of this renovated boozer. Very good pub grub, too.
-
6. Cheers Sports Bar and Restaurant
Another of the new-ish spots that have sprung up in vibrant Sai Kung Town. It’s more sophisticated than some of its competitors, but rather boisterous if the soccer or rugby are on the television.
-
7. Regal Riverside Hotel Bar
Up-scale watering hole overlooking Sha Tin’s Shing Mun River. A good retreat after a shopping marathon in New Town Plaza.
-
8. Forget-Me-Not Lounge Bar
One of Sha Tin’s many hotel bars. Reasonably priced beers but not much atmosphere.
-
9. KXtreme
This new happening place has pool tables, flat-screen TVs, and live bands at the weekends. Warning: the Xtreme cocktail can easily serve four.
-
10. Pousada
This bar-cum-restaurant set in a Portuguese-style inn brings a slice of Macau to the New Territories, with sea views and al fresco drinking.
