“Dynamic and diverse, global and grandiose”- Hong Kong is one of the world’s greatest cultural hubs. It compares to New York when it comes to the energy level, the competition, and the appetite for eating and drinking. The crowds truly go all night, and are ravenous for new and interesting experiences.
Even the high-end hotels of Hong Kong had to significantly step up their bar experiences as the local drinkers are increasingly focused on the details of what goes into their glass. They intend to learn more about rare and vintage spirits.
The al fresco bar at the Grand Hyatt, seated along the dramatic cityscape of Victoria harbour stocks single malts ranging up to three decades in age.
Butler, another best place for a quality cocktail across Victoria harbour. This spot-lit bar is filled with more than 200 different spirits for all manner of concoctions. The fruit cocktails, in particular are exceptional made from fresh produce that’s sliced and juiced on the spot.
The Lobster Bar in the Island Shangri-La is another best. The cocktails here are measured perfectly and the beers come in frosted pewter mugs to add an exceptionally classy touch.
The Quinary is known for their molecular techniques – Earl Grey martini with caviar and foam.
And the Backbar at Ham & Sherry is a cozy, hidden gem offering one of the finest selection of fortified wines outside of the Iberian peninsula.
In past few years, a big amount of cocktail clubs have opened their doors all around town, and the level of craftsmanship has grown immensely.
The speed of this city translates into the speed of trends, constantly changing here.
