Drink With Me: Hong Kong

One of my favorite speakeasies in Hong Kong. Love the hidden door - finding the bar always feels like I'm embarking on some kind of adventure. (Friends are always impressed with this place).

Hidden entrance, classy vibe, live music, fun drinks menu... A little on the pricey side, music can be a little loud.

Hong Kong has a number of speakeasies, and Mrs Pound is one of my favorites. It looks like a locksmith shop on the outside... the fun lies in figuring out how to get in. The vibe inside Mrs Pound is relaxing, with some throwback vibes. Very long and diverse drinks menu, and the drinks themselves are beautifully presented. Would not recommend as a first stop for a first date, especially if neither of you have met before... but it’s a cool place to bring friends!

Speakeasy, somewhere off Hollywood Road. No menu - drinks are fully customized to your preferences and the bartender's skills. "Invite only". Exclusive, private, intimate.

Might not be the "best" place in this list, but for what Hanjan lacks, it makes up for in charisma. It's actually a Korean/Western restaurant. My friends and I come here for their Happy Hour drinks. It's a great place to kick the night off since it's a close walk to LKF and other bars. Music can get super loud though.

My favorite drink here is the Jap Jap - sake, green tea, lychee. Smooth, light and refreshing. Love coming here with friends for their cool retro old-school HK vibe. Makes you feel like you're in a Wong Kar Wai movie ☁️ It says "members only" at the door but it's pretty easy - you can get your phone number and name registered for free to become a member! Also, bring a scarf because this place can get chilly. Especially if you're having their iced shisha (pretty cool - ha get it)
