Where to drink in Hong Kong

The list clusters in Central (4 rooms, led by Bar Leone) and Sheung Wan (2 rooms, led by Mius). Pick a district first and walk between rooms rather than crossing Hong Kong between drinks.

The highest-ranked bars in Hong Kong

Bar Leone (Central) at No.4, Gokan (Central) at No.23, and Coa (Central) at No.25, on the current Asia list. Positions move with each edition, so a room can climb or drop between seasons.

Booking and what to expect

Of the 6 rooms in Hong Kong, 1 requires a reservation and 5 take walk-ins. Every profile carries the phone, website, and reservation rule we last confirmed with the room. For a sense of spend, Bar Leone lists about HK$125 per cocktail.

How we chose these bars

Each of these 6 rooms holds a position on our Asia ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Hong Kong rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
