When Coa opened in 2017, it was a quiet affair. The bar took over the unassuming premises formerly occupied by Neo, a bar that lasted barely a year. Some wondered whether Coa would suffer the same fate given its niche focus on agave spirits. Five years on and the bar is acclaimed as the finest in Asia. Co-founder Jay Khan is a charming host and his menu has stayed fresh to match the demands of his ever-expanding clientele. Khan has also found time to launch Mescal Mission – charity tastings to help vulnerable families in Hong Kong. One more reason to visit.
