Dr Fern or whichever jabroni runs this place could have just served gin in a "parlor" (whatever that is) as advertised. but they went above and beyond. not only did he/she/they/it/your-preferred-pronoun-of-choice roll out a menu with a fudgin mind boggling number of gin drink varieties that could have only come from taking hallucinogenic drugs - they also decorated the place like it was Jumanji. not the new school Dwayne Johnson Kevin Hart one, the old school one. fake vines and plants crawling everywhere around the room. makes you feel like you're in the jungles of south america and pablo escobar is gonna jump out the corner and knock a couple back with you. really keeps you on the edge of your seat. pretty insane how nice this location is just hidden away within landmark. highly recommend for a chill place to hit after dinner! PS. who is Dr Fern and does he make a living treating liver problems. asking for a friend read more

Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour - believe it or not, gin - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Mind your head ....once you get there, if you get there. Located within a labyrinth within the Mandarin Oriental in Central Hong Kong. Pretty difficult to find, because speakeasies. This is the best part. So many gins and gin concoctions. Also the best part. I can't speak to how they taste as I was not drinking alcohol during my visit, therefore I could only gawk at the vast and good on paper menu. The company I keep said it was good. Design & ambiance were nice. Heard a rumor they were closing after many long years of service. Said rumor was heard in 2025 so please check on that. read more

Cool little spot located within the landmark right in the heart of central. This place is actually pretty tough to find. Overall, it's small and it's crowdedddd but the drinks are pretty good. They try and pack people in, with stand tables etc and it somewhat takes away from the vibe. Great selection of gin and The gin cocktails are good but not amazing. Took quite a while to get the order... read more

My cousin recommended this spot for my friend and I on our last night in Hong Kong. And definitely can say that it did not disappoint. The cocktails were absolutely beautiful and delicious! The decor is a bit confused when we went (it was around Christmas, so there were some Christmas decorations scattered around). But I appreciate that they're sticking to the doctor's office/apothecary theming. Two things I'll note: 1) In true speakeasy style, this spot was very hard to find haha. I say do not trust the Google Maps location (it is incredibly off) and be sure to leverage the directories in the Landmark Atrium mall. 2) It can get distractingly loud. There was a live performer when we went, and while she was wonderful, the sound system needed some adjusting. When the sound system was settled, it can of course get very loud when it gets busy and people get drunker haha. That being said, the drinks are absolutely worth the trip. Would definitely consider stopping by again if/when I'm in Hong Kong again. read more

Oh man, I love Dr. Fern's! As I was searching for hidden speakeasies in Hong Kong, Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour showed up and I was excited ever since! If you love Gin, this is the spot for you! Decided to venture off to this speakeasy with my girlfriend on a Friday night after dinner. She has never been to any speakeasies before in HK, so the experience would be a nice surprise! We took MTR to Central and exited to The Landmark 置地廣場 (Exit G). Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour is located in the basement. It wasn't hard to find because there were already people hovering around the secret door. The place was filled with people, reservation is highly recommended. The decor was lovely with floral, greens and tubes hanging everywhere. Staff were in lab coats, taking your "prescription" orders lol. We couldn't get seats at first, but we can still order at one of those standing tables while we waited for seats to open. I learned to love Gin over the past few years. They don't carry the one I like on the extensive Gin menu but I am okay with trying out new ones! The Whitley Neill Quince Gin with Bickford's Tonic was one of my favourite cocktails at Dr. Fern's. It was garnished with green apple and orange peel, and it was light, sweet and delicious! I also heard they have brunch/high tea as well. I would definitely check it out next time I come back to HK. Till next time! read more

Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour - One of the best Bar tenders in HK. This man will make Perfect drinks with such balanced taste that you won't want to stop having them. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

A speakeasy for Gin lovers! The entrance here is hidden in the hallway with a side door that looks like an office. Thanks so much for the tips of fellow Yelpers so I found this place without too much trouble. Doctor's Orders that I should drink some gin. I am all for that! You can pick what's on the menu that gives you full description of the taste profile or you can get the Doctor's Prescription ($MP). The staff is quite helpful. But I always a little confused when they speaks English to me. I wondering if I still in Hong Kong? :) Our party of 2 dropped in on a weekday afternoon without a reservation. Just in case you coming in the evening, a reservation is highly recommended. A little gimmicky one would say with the staff wearing all white lab clothes? But I like the reference since Gin was sold in pharmacies and used to treat such medical problems as kidney ailments, lumbago, stomach ailments, gallstones, and gout. Cheers to good health! read more

TL;DR / no spoilers on the 'hidden bar': Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour is just what the doctor ordered - warm atmosphere, excellent service, top-notch drinks, and a great location. If you don't know what to look out for, the place is real easy to miss. SPOILERS + DEETS: As you go down the steps to the MTR entrance inside The Landmark, there are two doors on the right - one is marked 'Waiting Room' (which doesn't open), the other is marked 'Gin Parlour' (which does). Upon entering, we were asked if we had an appointment by the hostess in a white lab coat. We didn't have any reservations, so we were showed the standing area by the bar. Between two, we ordered one Tanqueray, one G'Vine, one Eden Mill Love & Fever, and one Rising Sun. The space was snug and intimate with comfortable, old-fashioned chairs, fern-patterned wallpaper, and jars of dried botanical; and the concept of Dr. Fern's was amusing, and neatly executed. I'd definitely come here again next time I'm in town - maybe even pop by during the afternoon, when the bar serves coffee, salads and sandwiches. read more

This is why Hong Kong is a great place to visit, great food and great bars.....Dr. Fern's is hidden in plain sight in Landmark. When you're on Pedder street and see stairs to the MTR it's on your right hand side, across from the LV store. There are two doors, the door to go in is on the right that says "Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour, Advanced non-surgical treatments for men and women and everything in between. " It looks like a door for little people because the doorknob is so low but open it up and you will see what looks like a lovely sitting room inside with wallpaper, red couches and ottomans. After we sat down we were approached by a woman in a lab coat and asked us what our ailments were and "prescribed" some gin drinks for us - doctor's orders! I had the Bloom gin and Fentiman's tonic with strawberry garnish. It was crisp and clean tasting and I loved the strawberry garnish. The crowd here was chill and it was quiet enough so I could have conversations with my friends. I would love to come here again one of these days sans alcohol and try their afternoon tea set. read more

Of all the Ming Fat speakeasies I like Dr. Fern's the best. I'm definitely not a fan of Gins but I found that having staff here walk you through it in a pretty laid back way made me open my mind and palate up towards it. I was also skeptical about their whole 'Old-Timey' Doctor schtick but it wasn't overplayed and there were times where I thought it came in handy- tweezers for tweaking garnishes; maybe that was the seed for the whole concept? Anyway, the gin selection is huge and they seem to have one for every flavor and nuance you could want, beyond the herbal or dry spectrum I confined gin to originally. If you're not a fan of clear liquids they obviously have others and their Old Fashioned, is set on fire before it's served, again it's a neat schtick but the drink was well made too. read more

Yea, Thank God we have good friends who know how to take care of us when we're in need of help! Enter in Dr. Fern. Supposedly it's the cure all for our ailments! Or that is what we were told! Ha! By now you know that is no place for getting any medicine unless it has gin in it! Hard to believe this adorable little, unsuspecting bar is right in the basement floor of a huge shopping mall inside the Landmark Atrium! Hubby and I might sound like professed alcoholics but we really do like our wine, bourbon and oh yea, gin too! I think the term is "refined alcohol connoisseurs" but you can call it what you want! Our friends know where to take us even when we're already feeling good! The front façade is like "real" old fashioned Doctor's office with it's "fake" office doors! But when you walk in to this small bar, you are immediately greeted by men and women in white coats! Welcome to the Gin Parlour! The doctor will fix your ailment if you tell him what you like in your drink! Those who know what they want can directly order and it doesn't have to be gin! They are a full service bar as well! I loved their "prescription" menu offering all their specialty drinks other beverages too. We were so lucky that our entire party of 8 fit without a reservation. (Not recommended!) But we got there early enough so it was okay. I'd highly recommend reservations if coming after 10p. There's a few seats at the bar and little seating areas but for a large group like ours it could have been more standing than sitting. It'd definitely a fun and unique place that any gin drinker would appreciate and enjoy! Even those who aren't Gin fans will find something to fix their thirst! The "doctors" will cure your "ailment" or maybe give you an ailment! read more

This speakeasy is really easy to pass by, but considering it's central location in Landmark Atrium the secret is out amongst the suits that frequent the area. You'll most likely catch a glimpse of folks coming in and out during the evenings. The hostess was very kind to us when we arrived; the place was already full yet she still took the time to explain the concept to us and was apologetic that there were no tables at the moment. There's a dizzying array of gins behind the bar, and if you have an opportunity to check it out I'm pretty sure you'll spot some bottles that you've never heard of. Though gin-based drinks are the best to order here, the bartenders can make other non-gin cocktails as well: I saw someone order a Manhattan, so there's that. If you can't make it in the evening but would still like to see the space, stop by in the early afternoon for coffee. Hey, they gotta make the rent somehow! read more

I really wish I can love this bar and give it a high rating but I felt the experience was very ... average. Comparing this to other "speakeasy" bars in Hong Kong I would not come back. I love love loveeee gin and while Dr. Fern's does boast a collection of many types of gins, I felt the menu was very overwhelming and though the bartender was knowledgeable and let us smell a few different bottles of gin, he wasn't very helpful in choosing one. I would maybe stick to a cocktail on the boards around the bar as we did a "gin and tonic" where you pick your gin and your tonic. They ran out of my first choice so I chose a different one. The bartender literally poured some gin in a glass with a long stick of ice that they hand cut then proceed to pour a bottle of tonic water into it and then just threw on some garnish at the top. I was baffled at how easy it was to make and how can they charge a premium for it. $130 hkd for this Eden's love gin I chose from Scotland. There is a 10% service charge as well. They also give you some bbq chips when you're at the bar. There were some seats available at the bar and it was a Tuesday evening at 1030pm. Some chairs were available if you wanted to sit at a table as well. The bathroom has insect sounds playing so that was kind of cool. Nice to experience but I won't go back. read more

Went to Dr Fern's Gin Parlour for high tea during a week day. Had the set menu for two with red tea. Went in and thought the entrance door was hilarious and the interior decoration were quite pleasant. The set menu came out too be a rather small portion and for the price. But the taste were quite decent. However, Once we finished the tea set into ~1.5 hours and the staff immediately took away the plate and unfinished tea and water to push us out. I thought that was rather rude. Considering no notice of this tea set is restricted to 1.5 hours. I would not recommend to come back for the afternoon night tea again. That totally overweighs however nice taste and ambience it has. read more

Don't bother with the food, I don't even know why they try to offer a food menu. Overpriced and stupid; the menu was designed by a 12 year old, they serve "nachos" with Doritos and charge over $20 USD. On a different visit I had the charcuterie and again, huge disappointment especially when paying over $25 USD a plate. As for the gin and cocktails, Amazing, Perhaps the coolest place in HK... just steer clear of the food and your in good shape. read more

Drinks: My husband and I cannot agree on our review of this place. I think the drinks are a solid 4 stars - light and refreshing gin cocktails with an extensive menu and an incredible selection of gin and tonics. However, I'm a lightweight and prefer weaker drinks. My husband found the drinks to be mostly tonic, and was less impressed than I. Atmosphere: Very cozy and dark - romantic ambience that's great for dates and small groups. I would avoid Dr. Fern's if you have a large and/or boisterous group, as it's a relatively relaxed bar. Not really a place for mingling with people you don't know, as the seating is arranged around separate tables and there isn't much of a bar to stand around. Service: Great! The servers are very helpful in recommending drinks based on the tastes of their guests and are very attentive. read more

Trendy, classy gin bar in Central Hong Kong. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about my gin until I came here. They have hundreds of different types which can then be combined with several types of tonic or enjoyed alone. I wanted to go all out so I asked the "doctor" for the most bizarre options. He let me smell a few of his options and I decided I wanted a lobster flavored gin. It smelled and tasted exactly as expected. Very unforgettable. I mixed it with tonic (I forget which type), which diluted the lobster flavor a bit and made it more pleasant. If you like gin, I would definitely recommend this place if you're in Hong Kong. If not, you can still enjoy a standard drink (high price) and the very nice atmosphere. read more

I loved this place! It was difficult to find seating so we had to wait 20 min, but granted, it was a Saturday night. There were 4 bartenders on staff so we got out drinks real fast! The drinks themselves were delicious! Although they may be considered a bit watered down for heavy drinkers. Definitely on the pricey side (our drink was 190HKD) but the experiences was overall delightful and lively. read more
