There’s nothing we love more than a long weekend, and just as it did over Easter, Hong Kong’s bar scene has pulled out all the stops to offer yet another full line-up. Kick off festivities at Terrible Baby with a dose of Cantopop cocktails, head to Mostly Harmless for zero-alcohol offerings, indulge in casual izakaya-inspired bites with Neon Pigeon at Bourke’s, and finish the weekend with one of Taiwan’s best at Qura Bar – on a Monday!

What: What better way to ring in a long weekend than with Canto- and Mando-pop inspired cocktails on the Kowloon side? Terrible Baby is hosting New York outpost 929, which builds cocktails inspired by pop hits. There’s Sleepless Night – a Ceylon-infused riff on a Manhattan with a milk foam head, inspired by a 1987 hit by Leslie Cheung – as well as the healing Love is Like A Bad Cold inspired by Taiwanese singer Yuki Hsu, which combines Nin Jiom herbal syrup with ginger-infused whisky.

What: In case you missed it, Sai Ying Pun’s Mostly Harmless Bar recently announced a radical shift to a fully non-alcoholic menu that still proves as delicious as the real deal. To commemorate this, neighbouring bars in Hong Kong have joined hands with Mostly Harmless for “Sazerac Sundays Zero”, with guest bartenders showcasing their takes on non-alcoholic drinks to close out the week. Though the event has been happening on, as the name suggests, Sundays, this weekend Coa is stepping to the plate on Saturday to offer a welcome break to the boozy holiday.

Where: Mostly Harmless Bar, 110 Queen’s Road West, Sai Ying Pun

When: 5pm-8pm
