I was so happy to find this spot at the end of a long day at Ocean Park! It looks like they are…read moretrying to do a lot to revamp their wineing and dining options, but the "lake" is under construction, so this is really just a "side" bar. :) It looks quite nice, sponsored by some Japanese beverage company, and there are a lot of cocktails on the menu. I just wanted white wine, which I had to ask for. They also make little juices in plastic light bulbs that the toddler I was with loved. It was a nice spot to unwind from a long day of walking around before we crashed the MTR.

It doesn't take itself seriously (I mean, their craft beer list on the wall includes a height chart that has both world leaders and dictators' heights) and the bartender that evening knew how to chat us up and keep us off our phones. Cocktails are strong and they all cost $100HK, which makes everything easy peasy lemon squeezy. Since our table became available 50 minutes earlier than expected, we were unfortunately forced to down our drinks quickly so we could get our spot. What a way to get a buzz ASAP! Next time, we'll stay a little longer and perhaps try their beer selection!

I was a little bummed out by the beer selection, which included HK breweries but very light beers. I was also not particularly jazzed about the whiskey selection, though the shelves include the classics. This bar definitely seemed like an ex pat bar with large work groups hanging out after the work day. The space is small, so with large groups in the space, it was a bit hard to hear each other. The bartender on this given Wednesday - I missed his name - was friendly. He was new to HK so didn't have many recommendations, but he's a good conversationalist.

One night I noticed it was open and completely dead but the Filipino cover band was jamming hard and there were signs for happy hour plastered all along the outside. Music and discounted drink prices are an easy way to sucker me in. But what I got was so much more. Maybe more than I would've asked for. You see, Amazonia isn't just any bar, but one of the many Filipino girly bars within the seedy Wanchai scene. I only realized this after noticing that while bopping my head to some Aerosmith / Journey covers that I was the only dude sitting alone and then after 8pm, a swarm of pinays came in and with that a steady crowd of middle aged white guys came creeping in. It's a scene that's been played out throughout Asian bars throughout the Southeast, but I was staring at it right in the face. From a bystander's point of view, the place is big enough to merit all sorts of gatherings. There is a legitimate stage for serious band action and lots of comfy seats that create a loungey presence much more so than a dive bar one. Colors here are primarily red and black, which perfectly mimics any sort of red light district vibe. The bartenders enjoyed my company. My drinks stayed at regular prices where I noticed a slight uptick for some of the other patrons looking to buy gals everything from beer to mildly potent cocktails, emphasis on the mild. Amazonia stays open late every night, just beware of the calm before the storm which tends to occur right around 7-8pm. Come for the drinks and stay for the music. Beyond that, everything else is suspect.

Amazonia is a dirty bar, and by that, I'm not endorsing it as a place to do "that" sort of thing,…read morealthough their website does boast that it is "where Hong Kong's wild and wonderful people hang out - beautiful babes and the guys who come to meet them there", so read between the lines. For those not looking for beautiful babes, it's a place to get hot, sweaty, drunk and rock the night out. It's a great venue, that's dark and dingy, with lots of nocks and crannies to hide in. The sort of place where you should never go during the day, in case you see the state of the seats that you have been sitting in the night before. Having said that though, even during the day, it seems to be dark inside (despite the open bar frontage). The venue seems to suck in light like a black hole. However, what this bar offers, is a great dive atmosphere to drown your sorrows or celebrate your happiness. The drinks are pretty much to be expected in any Wan Chai bar, beers, wines, spirits, that's about it. I don't know if there is food, as I have never eaten there, nor seen anyone else eat there. In the evenings, there is table service (or standing service). The waitresses identify themselves with LED light badges and will take your orders and bring you drinks. This is useful, because walking around in the dark to find the bar could result in injury, and it gets rocking busy, so any excuse to avoid squeezing through the crowds to the bar is a good thing. What Amazonia is really known for is the pumping live music, that goes from 8pm to 6am every night. They have a great Filipino band that just never seems to stop betweens songs or sets. With the relentless noise, don't expect to come here for a conversation, just let the noise roll over you as you sip your drink or dance on the makeshift space at the front of the stage. It's actually an ideal place it you don't have anything to say to whoever your there with. Happy hour is opening to 9pm. Sports is played on the screens around the bar.

As a a spot for meeting friends for pre-dinner drinks! The Pacific Bar at the Conrad seemed like a…read morepretty good idea. I arrived a bit early, dressed to the nines (it's nice to get out with hubby sans toddler) and had to wait a long time for service. I finally asked the mitre d of the adjoining restaurant if one had to order at the bar and my Sprite magically appeared -yes well I was obviously living dangerously. Half an hour later the bar snacks rocked up ... I wonder if that's how long I'd have been waiting for my drink if I hadn't asked? Service picked up dramatically after my husband rocked up. Perhaps they had thought I was 'working', although why the arrival of a man in a suit appeared to have dispelled that notion I'm not quiet sure. Whatever the reason, the staff were helpful and attentive for the rest of our stay. I still think the location makes it a good place to meet. Handy to quiet a few restaurants, cinema and taxis, just don't sit around on your own too long.

A rooftop bar located at top floor of Park Lane hotel, known for the beautiful view of the harbor…read more Unfortunately weather has been bad during our stay at the hotel and it was raining hard the night we came here. So we could barely see anything but we thought it's ok we're just gonna enjoy the drinks and foods. Well it turned out the view already was the best part of the night. We ordered 4 cocktails and only 1 was good. We didn't finish the other 3 because they just tasted horrible. My advice is just get something simple like gin and tonic or coke and rum. Their own signature cocktails were a waste of money. We also ordered fries and fried chicken which were overcooked. They were probably left in the fryer for too long. The wagyu beef slider was actually quite delicious but hey we paid $180 for 1 slider it'd better be good. Overall it was a very disappointing experience. I don't think I would come back again..

You can not order anything a la carte during brunch hours. Any cocktails & wines will be minimal of 150-170 hkd. 2 peeps can easily share 1 set of brunch, esp with unlimited assortment of excellent house breads.

It's probably one of the most interesting experience of beers…read more Little did I know that the first time I had Young Master at The Globe about one and a half years ago, it was the time this little local brewery just started. Visiting here and learn about the history and seeing the actually steel barrels that hold the beers I drink are pretty surreal. I wouldn't imagine that a little room in Ap Lei Chau was sufficient to brew all the beers to The Globe / Craft Beer & Co. HK Brewcraft, Roundhouse Taproom, The Ale Project, etc. EVERYDAY, plus all the individual restaurants and customers. Crazy. For $150, you could have a quick tour of the place, plus 5 different beers at tasting size. The Classic pale ale is the all time best sellers (and available all year long). The Fussy peach pumpkin ale is a response to the infamous Budweiser Super Bowel Ad that tried to (unsuccessfully) make fun of the craft beer community (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siHU_9ec94c) (along the lines of "we make beers not to be fussed about; let them drink their peach pumpkin ale". I liked that little story behind, and if I ever see a peach pumpkin ale again at a bar, I'm totally ordering it and tell this badass story. The Rye on Wood and Ashes of Time were very interesting too. Both were oaked, but the Ashes of Time had a trace of chocolate favor too. YES, CHOCOLATE. Sounds like the best of both worlds that people never thought of mixed well together, but they did. (And http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109688/, sick reference bro.) My friends actually liked the last one, 1842 Island Imperial IPA. It's definitely the one that got everything right, but thanks to my big night on Friday, I was trying really hard to finish the last glass of beer here, despite it's just a pot. Definitely worth the trip here, and definitely would come back again with some other friends and try their seasonal brew (if you take note of my pictures and other Yelpers', you can see they change the tasting beers from time to time).

Inside a small tasting room, I first tried a beer cocktail made with his rye beer mixed with rye whiskey orange and grapefruit peel-- what a hit! I really like his IPA, which isn't overly hopped, and has a rounded sweetness that appeals to the masses. My favourite however was the rye... maybe because the first beer I ever brewed was a Roggenbier. Growlers are on offer, he also has a bar in Mong Kok which I really need to get to. Fun afternoon, with a beautiful view of the water right outside his window.

Similar to an Old Fashioned. - Smoky Lemongrass Sour - yes, smoke in a cup. End note of pineapple juice. Can't really taste the lemongrass. The guys are attentive. Bar snack was served about 8 mins after drinks are served. Overall, nice experience.

Favrile Cocktail: inspired by Favrile art glass, local gin, yuzu, seaweed, and a touch of wasabi. A surprising drink that was quite refreshing on a hot and humid HK night.

Located in the…read moreParekh House, it feels almost like an apartment complex turned lounge, overlooking the vibrant Wyndham and just a stone's throw away from Soho and Lan Kwai Fong. The drinks are solid here, but the casual, comfy vibe is what keeps me coming back. There is a small bar counter, surrounded by plush comfy sofas, and an outdoor terrace. The bartenders and Will the manager are fun and friendly, a nice alternative to the bouncer enforcer venues just a few doors down the street. The couches are comfy enough to fall asleep on, which has probably happened to folks who've had one too many to drink. Happy Hours are only weekdays here from 6pm-9pm, which are ideal primetime drinking hours. Weekends are much busier here, but still quieter than most of the ground level drinking holes on the street. Fancy a drink earlier in the week? Good news is the cocktails are 2-for-1 on Mondays and Tuesdays. I usually grab myself a whisky based drink or one of their less sweet cocktails and chat along the terrace while enjoying the view and good company. There are some days where I'd rather come and relax before / after embarking the pretentious Central scene. This is one of the few safe bets for a quality drink with an equally quality ambience.

I enjoy sharing stories and experiences with each other, kind of guilty though to realize someone has never been to LKF before, haha, hope others enjoyed the night just like me. Well, talking about Bar Six, or should be written as "Bar 6ix", as shown inside, it is nice, delicate and comfortable, which is a lounge designed bar, with two long sofa chairs placed aside as "L" shape, so plenty of space and privacy are provided. There is a smoking area outside in terrace, where you can sit on high chair to enjoy whiskey and cigar. The view is not very attractive but sitting tall outside in concrete jungle is always enjoyable. More than that, Will, the manager and his team are super friendly and cheerful, they recommended different cocktails, came around all the time to make sure the drinks were good, taught the girls magical tricks -burn your finger with fire, haha, which was a really cool lesson before we left with big smiles. Btw, Kevin, we called you to get another drink but you didn't answer, haha, next time maybe!
