Buddha Lounge
Five-O on your tail? This small, darkly-lit bar is just the place to keep a low profile until the heat’s died down. With its small windows looking out into Cochrane Street, you’re guaranteed to see the po-po before they see you. Escape into the private rooms in the back and adjust your face-hiding fedora – they won’t catch now, not here, not today. The bar is open till at least 9am, so spend the night nursing a bottle of bourbon before emerging into the dawn light for your speedboat getaway to Macau.

Pi
Lying low is so passé. In these enlightened times, the gentleman thief lies high. Make your way to this club on the 28th floor with the same grappling gun you used to infiltrate the governor’s mansion, and carve your way inside with the same diamond-tipped glass cutter that stole the Maharajah’s Eye. You could also take the lift. Either way, Pi is high enough for you to fly under the radar. Stash your loot behind the spacious bar and seduce yet another woman with your rakish charm. You’re lying low, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get laid.

Blue Bar
You’ve been set up by your wife, who wants your millions to fund her toyboy habit. Thankfully, you knew better than to trust her, and have several mil stashed away in the Swiss bank account. Put yourself up in a Four Seasons VIP suite and plot to wrest back control of your commercial empire from the calm, soothing atmosphere of Blue Bar. Let the industrial chic design inspire your cool calculations, as you sip a martini in masterminded ease. She may have outwitted you once, but the contingency plans are in place: soon the whole world will know that messing with you doesn’t pay.
Four Seasons Hotel, 8 Finance St., Central, 3196-8888.
LA BODEGA
Has your employer double-crossed you following a successful high-profile assassination? It’s best to go into hiding in another country and bitterly plot your revenge. But if you can’t afford to fly to Mexico, then drown your sorrows in several of La Bodega's tequilas, hiding yourself with a bar sombrero and remembering the better times. And as you order another frozen margarita, fear not – revenge, after all, is a dish best served cold.
