The long-awaited Easter weekend is here! Between Easter egg hunts, egg-themed dishes and extended relaxation in the warm weather, we have a full line-up of guest shifts worth checking out over the course of four days. If you’re not flying out for the long weekend, enjoy the local bar scene – world-class concepts from Jakarta, Beijing and even our sister SAR get behind the stick at some of our best venues.

Wing Lei Bar x Honky Tonks Tavern
What: Mark Lloyd, newly minted head mixologist at the revamped Wing Lei Bar at Wynn Palace in Macau, comes to Hong Kong for a gauntlet of guest shifts this Easter weekend. The Scotland native brings a CV of venues from Bangkok, Shanghai and more to three of our most rambunctious venues, hitting Honky Tonks Tavern on Thursday, Artifact on Friday and Soho House on Saturday. Visit any of these venues to get a taste of Wing Lei Bar right here on our home turf.
Where: Honky Tonks Tavern, Pak Tsz Lane Park, 1 Pak Tse Lane, Central

Bar Long Fong x Penicillin
What: Heading down south all the way from Beijing are co-founders Xu and Fan of Bar Long Fong, who take over our very own Penicillin this Friday! Bar Long Fong is known for its contemporary approach to cocktails, often combining multiple base liquors with unusual modifiers. That includes whiskey and two types of huangjiu with blackened banana and almond for their Banana, Almond & Huangjiu cocktail, or pisco, gin and whiskey with six types of seeds or nuts for their Francis Albert’s Daily Nuts – both off their current Simple Drink menu.
