Hong Kong bars in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019
The annual Asia’s 50 Best Bars showcases the best and most innovative cocktail bars in this region. Voted for by industry professionals — bartenders, industry consultants and writers — Hong Kong has always pulled its weight in these prestigious awards ever since they started in 2016. This year the city had seven bars that made the cut. Here they are and here’s what you need to know.

No.1 — The Old Man
The highest entry on this year’s list, The Old Man has wowed not just Hongkongers but drinks experts from around the world. Established by three friends all with experience of working at Hong Kong’s most prestigious hotels, this bar — hidden down an alley off of Aberdeen Street — provides notably enthusiastic service as well as excellent drinks.

No.10 — Quinary
Local hero Antonio Lai’s first bar, Quinary deserves legendary status in Hong Kong. When it opened in 2012 it was the first bar to bring ‘multi-sensory mixology’ to the city. The bar remains cutting edge and its foam-topped Earl Grey Caviar Martini, complete with globules of ‘earl grey caviar’, is one of the recognisable cocktails in Hong Kong.

No.32 — The Pontiac
Hong Kong could do with more bars like The Pontiac, its grungy aesthetic unique within Hong Kong’s upscale cocktail scene. But it’s not just the dive bar vibes and rock ’n’ roll playlist that have made this place such a popular destination. The drinks are spot on, especially the classics, and the staff are among the most fun and engaging in Hong Kong.
No.36 — Stockton
It’s been five years since Stockton burst onto the Hong Kong scene but it feels like the kind of place that’s been around forever. Perhaps that’s due to its interior stylings, the bar dressed up like an Edwardian-era gentlemen’s club. The drinks are anything but old fashioned, though. The menu changes regularly and there are always new surprises to discover.
No.33 — Lobster Bar
A fixture on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list since day one, Lobster Bar is a Hong Kong institution. Situated within the Island Shangri-La, in Admiralty, this establishment has a deserved reputation for serving well-made classic cocktails. It’s not for nothing that Lobster Bar is known internationally as a drinks destination.
No.38 — 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana
Often overlooked as a drinking destination — not a surprise when your bar is part of the only Italian restaurant outside of Italy to have three Michelin stars — 8½ is finally getting credit for its drinks as well as its food. That’s thanks to Devender Kumar, bar manager and a Bacardi Legacy winner, whose signatures, The Optimist and Pocket Square, are unmissable.
