Frank A.

As you enter the Landmark Mandarin Oriental from Queen's Road Central make a quick left into the MO Bar. Walk casually past the hostess towards the bar and keep going. Ascend the staircase to the right and enter the phone booth at the top of the stairs, pick up the phone. Wait about 30 seconds and the back door of the phone booth opens to let you enter. Now that you are inside, take a seat at the bar or in a booth. Now relax and savor the ambiance and the experience. The craft cocktails are amazing and the new food menu is good too. An outpost of New York's PDT (Please Don't Tell), we enjoy coming when we are in HK.

Came here twice within a week and celebrated a super chill NYE 2020. Loved the bartender and drinks…read morehere, great extension of Employees Only in West Village with the same speakeasy feel.

The decor is stylish but not nearly as polished and outstanding as various bars littered throughout LKF. We decided to have dinner here on a quiet night. Mini Bread Plate - Yummy Bone Marrow Poppers - $118 for 3 Ikea meatball sized poppers. They had a strong musky smell and the pastry shell wasn't fresh. Seared Cod - $278. Small portioned, super overcooked cod. Clam Linguini - $198. Portion size perfect for smaller eaters however, clams were filled with sand. Every single bite was 'crunchy'. Bone Marrow Mash - $88. A lovely potato mash but no bone marrow taste to be found. I asked for a pretty cocktail since speakeasies are awesome with the way their drinks are presented. He suggested I order the Black Diamond $140 which presentation wise, is as classic as a cocktail can be. The server warned me that this drink is a strong drink for girls; he was wrong. It was watery. Ready Fire Aim - $140. Tasted good and quite pretty as well. There are SO many speakeasies in Hong Kong. EO is easily the least attractive and pricey establishment.

Bar Six feels like a pseudo departure from the rest of the madness in Central. 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 had a great time in this bar last night with the yelpers, was truly a successful gathering…read more Thanks Kevin! It is awesome to meet new people, everyone is friendly and easy to get along. 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!

Though less stunning esp at night, its still quite impressive. The weekend brunch starts at $620/person which includes seafood platter + a main course + dessert + 1 non-EToH drink & unlimited house breads. 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. Dessert was a whole plate of goodies, not just 1 piece, wow it was fantastic! Service was great

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..

This bar was hard to find. It's located on a steep street and you have to walk down the stairs…read morethrough a short alley to find the entrance. A bit of a speak easy vibe. The inside is very cozy with the bar as the center. I read the menu is seasonal and completely changes. My guess is what we had in December 2025 is no longer on the menu. The two cocktails we had was very unique with unusual ingredients. I think it was called Like-Minded Creatures and Paradox. Somehow the unusual ingredients came together very nicely. 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. She didn't hover, but came to our table as soon as we make eye contact. I recommend this cocktail spot. We had a good time. Not fit for large/big groups. Perfect for 2-4 friends.

The Old Man definitely has a cool concept.

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. Overall, the drinks and concept were excellent, but the awkward tipping interaction took away from an otherwise great experience.

When the partying in LFK starts fading, one bar stands above the rest in keeping the fiesta vibes…read moregoing, appropriately named Insomnia. Located along the main stretch of where LKF partygoers gather on D'Aguilar, Insomnia has maintained a long standing reputation as an easy destination for live music and a never ending 24 hour bar scene. The interior is quite good for all sorts of occasions. There is an outdoor area with a separate bar and an indoor area that has a massive stage equipped with lights, speakers, and mic stands. It might be the most elaborate setup I've seen for a bar at this size. As a result, the live music here is probably the best I've seen in LKF. The nightly Filipino cover band deserves some serious kudos. Like all things in these parts of LKF, the drinks are expensive. Average cocktail goes for 100+HKD and roughly half off during Happy Hour. The food isn't much to write about, more folks are here for the ambiance than the bites. I've been here when it was both dead with no one inside and packed to the gills (typically the weekend). When it's crowded, this place is extremely hit or miss. There is only so much body bumping and middle aged people dancing awkwardly that one can take. When the weeknight crowd is light, this is a fantastic place to chill and appreciate some quality music. Service is somewhere between fast / efficient to terribly mean. The Filipino staff is courteous, but they can get feisty with the drunkards at the bar. Beware of the whack men's room, the urine odor is on full blast at night. Staying in the back has its drawbacks. At the very least the intense air conditioning and high energy performances from the band make checking this place out a worthy cause. I wish I could say the same for the rest of LKF.

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.

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.

Hong Kong bars really are on another level! The interior decoration felt like I was a smuggler…read moretrying to enjoy a drink before heading out to sea haha. The drinks were okay but the nightclub music and vibes were so good. They were playing 90's r&b hits and the transitions between songs were just the right amount of time. All you needed to do was order one drink to get into the club and it was pretty easy to get in (during a national holiday at least). Unsure if additional crowds during non holiday time would be worth.
