Wyndham Street bars: three to savour, plus two you might waver over if you’re a serious drinker

Wyndham Street in Central is one of Hong Kong’s oldest colonial streets. Previously known as Pedder Hill and once nicknamed Flower Street, it is a few minutes walk from the well-known entertainment area Lan Kwai Fong, and has a healthy food and drink scene of its own.

There’s a wealth of nightlife options along the street. We’ve picked three you’ll want to wander into, and two more you may want to ponder over.

Lilya Moroccan Lounge and Bar

Coming out of the lift feels like stepping into a scene from the Arabian Nights as you find yourself in a vestibule decked out with colourful traditional shoes and stained glass lanterns.

Inside, low tables with sofa and pouffe seating, wooden latticework – are given a contemporary twist, just like the contemporary Maghrebi pop music played by the DJ. Service is warm and welcoming (if you want to practise your French or Arabic, this is your chance) and late in the evening when the music goes up and the lights go down, it’s a fun place to party.

The drinks list is divided into Moroccan Signature and Asian Creation cocktails and contain a lot of perfumed and spicy ingredients.
