Central, Hong Kong｜COA

Fabulous cocktails. Great vibes. You’ll likely want to turn up early to get on the waiting list and then come back later to follow up. But it’s definitely worth it as the cocktails are another level and the atmosphere is friendly and fun. Highly recommend the Pepper Smash as well as the Bitter Melon Collins. Top cocktail bar in Hong Kong.

Well deserving of the top spot for asias top 50 bars. Cocktails pushes the boundaries of what you’ll expect and taste. Don’t trust what the looks of it is. They’ve recently upgraded to an app based queue system hence waiting isn’t as bad as you’re free to wander till your queue number is up. Great service from Michelle and Sulaph!

It’s been hailed as the No. 1 bar in Asia & No. 7 in the world. And when you get inside and experience their cocktails, you’ll understand why. But first off, because of the accolades it is extremely difficult to get a table or a seat here. We came on a Friday around 8:30pm and we were 25th on the wait list. We came back Saturday night around 5:30pm and there were 4 groups ahead of us. The bar itself is beautiful and simple. A bit of an industrial design with cement colored walls adorned with photos/paintings. The bar shelf was spectacular adorned with great agave spirits. But it’s in the cocktails that you get to see why they are the best. I first tried the Mole Negroni which had a rich, cacao flavor that complemented the reposado. This was a great concoction. All the cocktails we tried were well-balanced and tasty. The staff were all knowleadgeable and friendly. A must visit whenever you come by Hong Kong.
