We went a bit after peak time, and despite many families and groups there to eat, there were still many seats available. It can get a little noisy, if you don't mind, but overall service was good, and not too crowded if you're looking to have a drink or food.

The Happy hour is awesome because its from I think 5-9pm or something like that. Its 2 for 1 drinks and the drinks are pretty reasonable either way. They had live music which was fine and the jalapeño poppers were amazing! The Mexican sampler wasn't great but the poppers were fantastic so we ordered a plate of 12 more and fought over them like wolves. The pizza is from the place next door and its not worth ordering so stick with the poppers!

My five star rating is based on the following: Drinks and food: 4 stars View: 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars Uniqueness for the area: 5 stars The views are spectacular and is often listed on the best rooftop bars for a reason. Drinks here are pricey and in line with prices in Central. A cocktail will set you back about 120 hkd and a bottled beer is 65 hkd. The food items are more appetizer size bar food than entrees and will set you back about 100-150 hkd. The portion size is pretty substantial and you can definitely share with others. I would recommend the fried chicken lollipops & burger. The pizza isn't too bad here either.

The view is quite special, whether you're viewing it from the terrace or the magical bathrooms that remind me of the one Moaning Myrtle haunts in Harry Potter if Hogwarts was set in a sleek-as-fuck Hong Kong high-rise. Aside from the view, the cocktails are unique and there's one that just gets me every time: the Purple Cloud, made with taro and coconut milk and rosemary and vodka and who remembers what else? One of these is a mandatory part of any evening at Sugar. Other drinks have been well enjoyed too, such as the Passionate Dragon. I've had several food offerings: one of the pizzas, s'mores, panini, chicken skewers, and seen companions enjoying the cheese plate (I'm lactose intolerant so can't comment on that.) All were totally solid if on the pricy side. I'll be back. I've already been back.

Cielo is an Italian restaurant and bar perched sky high on top of Crowne Plaza Kowloon East. It also serves as the hotel's club floor lounge. You can get there via Popcorn Mall. The vibe is chilled, quiet and relaxed. The trendy bar outside looks exactly like a classy hotel bar in Koh Samui. It's decked out in brown and white rattan chairs and tables and I felt like I was on a tropical island! Service is so-so. Nothing bad but nothing to write hom about. Food is okay. The afternoon tea set is not great (eg the macaroons were hard and chewy). But savoury courses such as lunch and dinner are alright.

Opened only this past December, It boasts itself as Hong Kong's biggest tap house with 40 taps: and all 40 pouring local brews, plus more selections in bottles. You can just sit there and sample around Hong Kong, from Lamma Island to Kowloon Bay. As many of HK's micro and nanobreweries are too small to have taproom, not to mention retail distribution, this place does the breweries and consumers a great service by bringing so many beers to one location. The taproom is very spacious, and they have a large menu listing today's beer selection, along with a food menu featuring chicken wings and other snacks. Beers are offered in two sizes, 300ml and 400 ml, and if you can't pick just one, go for the flight, six for HK$160. The staff is happy to offer advice, such as what's limited release and likely to run out soon, as well as giving you a sample if you really are undecided. This place is slightly off the tourist map, but just very slightly, on MTR it's at the Tin Hau station, which is one measly stop after the very popular Causeway Bay. Exit at A2, turn left, then turn right at the end of street, and then just a few minutes walk and you'll see the taphouse under the bridge on your right.

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..

Go here to impress a date or a prospective (discerning) client, but be warned: there is a minimum spend which is a bit high (HKD$400 if I remember correctly) but worth it if you plan on staying longer than an hour.
