Hong Kong bar culture shows diversity at The Wise King, Room 309, Hugger Mugger, Fukuro, Frank’s Library and Dragonfly
What better time of the year to indulge yourself with fine beverages than summer in Hong Kong? This year, new bars are popping up across the city, bringing an array of drinking cultures.
The Wise King
The Wise King takes its guests back to the 13th century and the reign of King Alfonso X of Castile, where the practice of tapas food and a luxury drinking culture was developed. The dimly-lit vintage interior design provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail with taste.
Paying homage to the culinary and mixology culture of the 13th century, The Wise King features cocktails combining vintage and modern drinking styles that are steeped in flavour. The food selection at the bar is substantial and guests can enjoy tapas such as scarpetta, patatas bravas and cheese selections while enjoying the cocktails.
Address: Basement, 25 Staunton Street, SoHo (Entrance on Tseng Wing Lane next to Pure Fitness SoHo)
Room 309
From the outside, Room 309 just as ordinary as the other rooms in The Pottinger Hong Kong hotel in the heart of Central. However, this is the location of an exclusive bar that was unveiled in July.
