- Whether it’s a place to be seen, somewhere to impress arty types or a hidden gem to get away from it all, there is a bar for everyone
- Cocktails on tap, artisanal ice, tequilas and mescals, served in an art deco setting, a vintage hotel bar, an old pawnshop or ping pong parlour – take your pick
The glitterati of the art world will descend on Hong Kong this week. And alongside the many events going on during Art Week, their calendars will also be filled with pre- and post-event tipples.
But don’t just step into any bar – such high culture demands appropriate surroundings. Here are 10 of Hong Kong’s hottest bars that should be on any art lover’s itinerary this week.
For seeing and being seen
Hong Kong is by no means big, but anyone who has some networking to do during Art Week needs to stay close to the Convention Centre. Nearby, there are two hotspots.
The Pawn
This is an obvious choice for Art Week, with an old-world colonial setting that spills out onto an airy terrace and spacious rooftop. It’s here that you’ll find all the pre- and post-convention dwellers, alongside the many hangers-on.
