Varga Lounge has been on my HK radar for many many years. It's a one true love. The bar is intimate, cozy and if you have a big group, call ahead to reserve the upstairs room.
Decorated with 1920s pin ups, comfy sofas and a range of chilled to cheesy music you'll have a super time.
Onto the most important element of any bar - the drinks list. Cocktails are what Varga do best. I have sampled my way through the menu and recommend anything that ends in a "tini". From the delicious passion fruit martini to the "better than cheesecake-tini" there is something for everyone. If in doubt, ask Sirin, the friendly, courteous and gentile bar manager, for what he recommends that night (especially if your desired drink is fruit based).
Varga has very happily become my local for a swift cocktail (or three). Just don't have too many espresso martini's if you're hoping to sleep in the next couple of hours - been there, done that, have the bags (and heart palpitations) the next day to prove it. read more
