Presenting the 10 best bars in Hong Kong, in alphabetical order.
Argo
Glass-walled, conservatory-like Argo boasts harbor views, but it’s the envelope-pushing cocktails and spirits menu—including the first AI-created gin—that draws crowds of drinkers in.
Artifact
Buried at the back of a basement food court is this futuristic bar that shakes it up with quarterly themed menus featuring aged spirits such as cognac.
Bar Leone
Lorenzo Antinori’s casual hang stormed to success, becoming a global award-winning bar within a year of opening, with its mix of classic cocktails, convivial atmosphere and a certain mortadella sandwich.
Coa
Tequila and mezcal are the spirits of choice at Jay Khan’s agave-focused, multi-award-winning cocktail bar, which features a staggering 41-page drinks menu.
Darkside
Rare aged spirits and creatively themed cocktail menus that change regularly are the highlights of this sophisticated cocktail lounge at Rosewood Hong Kong, as is the daily live jazz band.
Gokan
Japanese mixologist Shingo Gokan’s eponymous Hong Kong outpost tickles the five senses through its 19 cocktails, five non-alcoholic drinks and more than 20 Japanese-inspired food dishes.
Penicillin
Hong Kong’s first closed-loop bar, from industry veterans Agung and Laura Prabowo, isn’t just sustainable, it makes quality fermentation-based cocktails, too.
The Aubrey
Touted as an eccentric izakaya, The Aubrey is a beautiful venue better known for its cocktails, harbor views and party vibes, especially on its Friday After Dark club nights.
The Diplomat
Come for the classic cocktails with a twist, textbook martinis and perfectly poured Guinness, stay for the great burgers.
T+L tip: Look for the secret music room out back.
The Savory Project
