Luckily someone showed us; it's somewhere on the first floor with a square design on the door. Once in, it was a very cool experience, dimly lit and cozy and intimate. They are known for the earl grey martini, which definitely did not disappoint; the alcohol taste is there but not overwhelming or bitter. Definitely worth coming back in the future now that I know where the entrance is!

We sat at the bar, which made the experience even better because we got to watch the bartenders in action. They walk you through each drink when they serve it, explaining the ingredients, how to enjoy it, and the inspiration behind it. It felt like more than just drinks.. it was an experience... The bartenders were super friendly, and several of them spoke English, which made everything easy and comfortable. The ambiance is exactly what you'd want: dim, chill, and upscale with a cool, laid-back crowd... It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends or wind down for the night.. They also serve food, which we didn't order at the time: but honestly, I regretted it later because everything coming out looked amazing (and I was definitely starving by the end of the night)... I genuinely can't even pick a favorite drink because they were all that good, each one completely different and memorable in its own way. 5 stars all the way.

Context setting: I'm Chinese American from the San Francisco Bay Area, where we have no shortage of craft cocktail bars with expansive high end liquor selections and innovative mixology. All that to say, I know a good cocktail. Scene: Came in on New Year's Eve. Was sat at a table away from the bar with my sister and two friends from mainland China. Only entirely-Asian group in the bar. Service: We were sat at one of the tables near the bookshelves. Service is polite but stiff. Might be a language barrier with the servers, since my sister and I are primarily English speaking, with terrible Mandarin and 0 Cantonese. Vibe: The couples at the bar (predominantly white guys...) got much more attentive service and conversation than our group. White guy bartender kept giving us weird looks the entire night. We did get the complimentary champagne cocktail when the clock struck midnight, which was nice. Drinks: Thoughtful and well balanced. Honors the flavors of the primary liquors while adding other subtle twists with nods to Japanese and Chinese flavor profiles and ingredients. 5/5, everything we tried was tasty and well executed.

It is a little hard to find, as it is inside of an old building in Wan Chai, but once you find the entrance to the bar and open the door, you will be surprised to find a small bar that is very much like the classic cocktail and whisky bars in Tokyo's Ginza district. Much like the bars in Tokyo, the service here is authentically Japanese. The Japanese head bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. We each had two cocktails and I enjoyed both of my fruit cocktails. This bar also has a nice garden out on the deck.

Luckily, even though my friends wanted to meet at 9:30 nobody fell asleep and we were able to go out. I keep a lot of places I want to try bookmarked and this was our first stop. Cover is 200 HKD and includes a drink so pretty expensive but for travelers it is a nice spot for live music, drinks, singing along, and dancing. It ended up being so good we came twice and everyone loved it. The cons are it gets extremely crowded, especially near the band and singer. The lame thing is a lot of the people up there were gatekeeping the area for their large group and not really contributing to the fun vibes. They seemed more interested in photos and video to look like they were having fun but that didn't stop us from turning up and lighting the place on fire. They do have "private rooms" in what looks like an old oven and though the table is expensive it includes 2 bottles and ended up not being so bad.

The atmosphere is intimate and fun, making it easy to see why this bar has earned such a strong reputation. Every drink felt like an experience rather than just a cocktail. That said, I was surprised by how aggressively the staff pushed for an additional tip after already adding a service charge to the bill. It felt out of place, especially in Hong Kong where that is generally not the expectation. It honestly felt more like something I would expect in the United States.

They do not skim on the liquor. I had a good buzz after one drink. In case you're wondering, they do not serve food. Just snacks/chips. Our server was wonderful.
