Hostile Management Ruined a Professional Group Event…read more We visited last night after calling ahead the day before and being explicitly told no booking was needed for a large group. Yet, when we arrived with 12 directors and professionals on a quiet Monday night, the restaurant was almost empty, and the manager immediately told us off for not booking. He talked down to me, avoided eye contact, and made us feel entirely insignificant.We tried to have a calm conversation and mentioned we were spending money on a two-hour social gathering, but he restricted us to sit in the corner and strictly ordered us not to mingle with his patrons. He flatly stated he didn't care about our money, only his 'regulars.' To make matters worse, they forgot one of our food orders, and some of the food we did receive was subpar. It's a shame because the floor staff were sweet and kind, but hospitality starts from the top. I have never felt more unwelcome and treated with such hostility at an establishment. Avoid this place! Wasn't in the mood to take a picture I'm afraid.

I found The Ale Project after researching if Hong Kong had any Mikkeller tap rooms, and although…read morethey didn't, it looked like a Mikkeller run club had stopped by here before! That told me enough to at least visit TAP and check things out. Definitely the vibe I was hoping for, with a variety of draft beers available for a multitude of palates. I love how there's a food menu here too so you can snack while drinking! We tried a few beers, but the ones that stood out were the Honey Longan Lager and a sour Lingonberry Soursop Ale! The flavor combinations were great, and also unique finds you couldn't get at other shops! We ordered some food to eat as well - the garlic fries were VERY garlic-y, and we also got the lap cheung spread on bread. Think of pate but made with lap cheung! Super unique find as well. If you're into craft beers, then absolutely stop in The Ale Project if you're in the area!

If you don't have a lot of time in Hong Kong and want to try as many local craft beers as possible,…read moreyou can't go wrong coming to HK Island Taphouse. 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.

This is as close to a smelly old English style pub you are going to find in Hong Kong, and that is…read morenot necessarily a bad thing! It's situated in Lok Fu although I think it's probably closer to the Kowloon Tong MTR station. Billy Boozer's gets its charm from the fact that it is very close to what was a British Army barracks (Pre handover). It's easy to imagine hoards of British army personnel getting drunk on their night off, I think a few of them might have stuffed their dirty socks down the back of some of the seats giving this place a unique aroma! That being said this place has got real character and it is mainly visited now by students from a local college. There is dart boards and board games should that interest you. They do offer food although I did not order any, however from what I saw it looked decent. It's a English pub in a very strange location in the depths of Kowloon so if you are in the area and looking for an old style slice of nostalgia, Billy Boozers will deliver and probably leave you with a very big hangover!

On entering this location you will find that this bar seems to be distinctly different to anything…read moreelse around here- the wooden beams, the plaques on the wall seem to tell of a different time. And you would be right. The Billy Boozer's main clientele at one point in time had been British army servicemen stationed nearby at Kowloon Tong barracks (just across the road) and you can tell from the distinct design of the bar that this place would have been well suited to receive such guests. Times have changed and the soldiers have left- the replacement clients now are mainly university students from the nearby universities ( BU and CUHK) which means this place is now even more packed than it used to be. You will find that they haven't really done much to spruce up the place and it does give you a bit of a dingy feeling. However, given the fair prices for beer towers (can't really remember how much) and the proximity to universities nearby you will always have students flooding in. As "European" as the bar is you will find dice games are played all round- local and exchange students alike and there is a section devoted to two darts machines out the back which tells you this place is more for fun and games than a quiet chat. I guess if you were looking for a quiet chat you wouldn't be coming here anyways. I hear that food is served here but have never tried it and neither would I recommend any one to. As a dark, dingy and small place to get completely plastered with your mates- you can't beat it!

Review #3,500: When…read moreNathan Left (彌敦左岸) opened up in TST along Hart's lively nightlife road, I was super pessimistic at best. Who was Nathan and why did he leave? Is this another gwai lo bar taking over the local grime and pubs from yesteryear? Since I lived right around the corner, I figured it was important to see what the deal was. Here's the deal: This place is awesome and over the past 2 years, I've become a regular. Of the M1 nightlife establishments, Nathan Left is certainly the most unique. The exterior features a classic Hollywood marquee sign, along with open door seating at their downstairs pub where there is just enough room for people to enjoy a view out on the street while drinking a pint. The second floor, where a majority of the people are is stunning from a decor standpoint. It is mainly a lounge with very contemporary decor pieces and dynamic ones that change in from night in to night out (depending on their theme) along with tables, a stage, a classy bar, and a performing stage. Hidden in the back are pool tables, a karaoke room, and even beer pong. When I say I was blown away by the place, I was even more taken aback when I came back on different nights and the interior was transformed. One night was for a movie night and it was 1920s flapper party and the next night it was b-boys, big beats, and a hell of a hip hop night. For most other nights, it's a showcase of some of the best Filipino cover bands one can find. The menu is mainly a mix of western food, which like any M1 spots are typically grossly overpriced and typically mediocre. I was however, impressed at some of the items, such as their "wurst" sausage variety, and even their $650HKD steak which was exactly how I wanted it -- medium rare. Even I was surprised when I found their hamburgers and pizza to be strangely tasty. Despite all of this, I'd still opt for their drinks more than anything. The drinks are standard, but well done. There is a pretty solid selection of whiskey, and some beers on tap. It's not the most extensive selection of alcohol by any means, but it'll more than do the job for people who can order typical cocktails. The staff is young, professional, and very multilingual. My first few visits here were taken care of by Jordan, who despite looking like a fella from Ireland, was in fact a Hong Kong native and mercilessly trolling folks with his flawless Cantonese. The same for the gorgeous Zasha, who served every drink with a smile. Or absurdly friendly Jerome, who knew exactly how to get the party started. Finally, the manager Tony would give a hearty handshake to his regulars every time they entered / exited the joint. It seems like a moot point by now, but this really was my nightlife home away from home. It was a fun occasion any night of the week, a great place for a date, group fun, or a solo drinking session. And finally, an awesome place to listen to quality music and indulge in great company.

Had a GREAT time at Nathan Left. We were in from the States on the last leg of a vacation to a few…read moredifferent countries in Asia, and were lucky enough to have someone local showing us around. This bar is a gem, with an extensive and detailed drinks menu that includes classic speakeasy cocktails, a diverse selection of beers (for Hong Kong), and even WINE that won't break the bank, a welcome sight for westerners longing for a glass of vino after enduring the usually devastating wine prices in Asia. The real reason to come, however, are the cover bands. This bar makes more than adequate use of its upstairs space to host spectacular cover bands that will truly play you any song in the world. My understanding is that this is not that weird a thing in Hong Kong but for westerners it's pretty magical, so that is my lived experience. Decor is fun, eclectic and cozy. Ample seating upstairs even when busy.

I was here on a bar night with some students, and overall the place is alright. I tried the golden…read moremushroom pilsner (brewed in house), but unfortunately, the beer seemed a bit flat. It otherwise had a very pleasant flavour profile. They also made a decent gin and tonic. I tried the Calamari, a Hawaiian and Supreme pizza, jalapeno cheddar fries and potato skins. The Calamari was good, crispy on the outside, and only slightly chewy on the inside, though the tzatziki that came with it was a bit too plain. It could've been more acidic, and had more cucumber, but otherwise it was a nice effort, considering how Greek yogurt is hard to come by in Hong Kong. I the Hawaiian and Supreme pizza are okay. The Supreme pizza had a strange bitterness to the crust, but the Hawaiian pizza was quite good, soft crust, flavourful toppings and stringy cheese. The jalapeno cheddar fries were crunchy, but the use of those individually vacuum packaged "cheddar" that they sell on at grocery stores and try to pass off as "cheese" really let the dish down. I mean sure, it's not a particularly expensive item, but people like their cheddar fries a bit gooey, not slimy. The potato skins were good, with just enough toppings to match the potatoes. They also used proper cheese cheddar cheese (strangely enough), so I was pleasantly surprised by it. I like how this location is much more spacious than their other Wan Chai locations, while still maintaining the same mid-range prices on drinks. Having brewed in-house craft beers is a huge plus for this place, but it seems that the brews just need to be polished a bit more before they can be truly great.

We did know that it would be a meat heavy menu, but my friend wanted some salad, so we decided on the German sausage salad. Imagine our surprise when the dish came, two pump link of sausages accompanied by a teeny side - like two bite-ful - of frisee salad! Please, be more generous with the greens! There was a oompah band going around the tables entertaining us, and servers were dressed in German folk costumes, all creating a festive atmosphere. The menu seems to aim hard to be international - so if German food is not your thing, you can consider many options such as Thai salad, Malaysian beef shank, pesto pasta, curry chicken and more. Not sure if they are just trying to include all tourists, but I find it a bit weird.

When I talk about Beer Hall, what will be the first thing that pops up in your head? Germany? Beer…read moreHall Putsch? Okay, I am obviously not talking about history so just let me cut to the chase - King Luwig BeerHall. I am completely aware of the fact that I am such a light-weight that I cannot drink that much, but once in a while I just let myself go for a bit (finger cross not as much). God knows how many times I have been here but I am still a fan of this place. The pork knuckles are definitely its signature dish here (of course it is slightly pricier than having than in Germany); however, the sausage platters to me seem rather ordinary and quite disappointing frankly speaking as people keep saying how good German sausages are, not here unfortunately. The scallop soup is very creamy and delicious as well. As for drinks, the last time I went there unfortunately I was kind of ill so I did not order beer, however I ordered one Mango whatever that does not have alcohol, while my friends ordered draughts of beers... bravo... the beer here generally is rather nice and not too strong flavoured so it is great for people who cannot drink that much. Also if it is your friend's birthday, please be prepared that the lead singer will sing him/her a happy birthday song. I am not a fan as it is rather embarrassing, but the atmosphere is definitely very cool (after a few glasses). It appears to me that King Luwig BeerHall has become quite a chain now in Hong Kong, I have tried the one in Tuen Mun and honestly, the one in Tsim Sha Tsui is definitely better in terms of the atmosphere. I strongly suggest that you should make a reservation as early as possible. Not that it will be full-house but more to do with the fact that you may not be able to watch the live band perform if you just walk-in as you will be sent to the farthest table and you can barely hear what they are singing.
