Bar review: Dim Sum Library, Admiralty – smart-casual place offers Chinese dishes with cocktails, tea or coffee
Cosy booths and bar stools, an art deco Shanghai theme, great service and signature cocktails – many featuring tea – make this venue worth a visit

The vibe: the latest offering from Aqua Group joins the plethora of new restaurants and bars in the revamped Pacific Place. It’s a clever concept – a smart-casual place where you can drop in any time of day for dim sum or other Chinese dishes along with cocktails, tea or coffee. The theme is art deco Shanghai, nicely executed down to details such as the stylish black and gold serving dishes and period glasses for the cocktails. A spacious bar with a choice of cosy booths or bar stools leads into the restaurant at the back (there’s even a mahjong parlour). Service is attentive and professional.
