Although the purple decor is not my speed and seems a touch "Vegas" in design, this was kind of a gem that we had no idea was parked right by our apartment. It almost seems out of place a bit located in Sheung Wan, because the design and decor (despite the purple velvet!) seems classy and upscale...something you would find more in Central versus the neighborhood/local feel of Sheung Wan.
It is a cocktail bar with what appears to a limited menu (very limited). Although we popped in to have a drink before heading to a restaurant up the street, we were glad we did. Big bar menu of cocktails, wine and spirits and perfectly executed adult beverages. The wait staff did not appear too sharp in the dialogue of booze, but the person making the drinks knows what he is doing and I suppose that all that really matters to me. From my cosmo to my husbands mojito, they were both made well. Bar felt welcoming and comfortable.
We were there around 6PM on a Friday and although not busy when we walked in, you could tell that people were begininng to meet up at this spot. Lots of girls having glasses of wine and people connecting after work. Although I do not know the set up of what is on their limited menu or how that works, there was some food element. Might have to go back and investigate further.
The space opens up on two walls to the outside and the bar does not feel enclosed, which I liked.
There was also a spot for a singer and music, so they must have a live music element later in the night.
Bottoms up and cheers...we will be back! read more
