- Despite the pandemic, bars like DarkSide raised their standards and retained customers – an incredible feat even as the F&B industry suffered many losses
- Some watering holes, including PDT and Quinary, diversified their offerings with a host of new creations and exciting menus
The Hong Kong bar industry has had to weather a succession of blows over the past two years: first, the citywide protests that disrupted business for much of 2019, then the Covid-19 pandemic, which lingers on.
Bars have suffered even more than restaurants, forced to close entirely while the latter could at least open with restricted hours and limits on customer numbers. While some establishments have been able to open thanks to possessing a restaurant licence, the remainder have been forced to close for months.
Despite these difficulties Hong Kong’s best watering holes have done an incredible job of raising their standards, diversifying their offerings and attracting customers back as soon as they have been allowed to open.
Here are 100 Top Tables’ 10 best picks in Hong Kong right now.
