The temperature is rising in our beloved fragrant harbor, and what better way to celebrate it than with a refreshing cocktail in a fabulous balcony bar or fantastic food in a bright rooftop restaurant. Whether it’s a romantic dinner under the stars, an after-office drink on a Friday night or a change of scenery you’re after, it’s time to take advantage of Hong Kong’s skyscrapers by exploring its high-rise watering holes.
Make your next weekend jaunt a full round of our top picks below and get ready to soar from Spain all the way to Cuba!
La Paloma
Start your weekend of fun with a sexy Spanish style brunch in this chiringuito-inspired restaurant. La Paloma stays true to the beach bar atmosphere of chiringuitos through its vibrant and colorful indoor décor that spills onto the casual and intimate open-air balcony. Say adios to the work week and hola to the weekend as you feast on the restaurant’s specialties, suckling pig and paella to your heart’s content. Muy delicioso!
The Balcony
Continue the revelry with a spot of people watching from The Balcony’s al fresco terrace while delighting in their Mediterranean fare. Dig into a wide selection of tapas, antipasti and mezes, and wash it down with a sparkling champagne cocktail. Overlooking SOHO’s lively Staunton Street, this is a great spot to see the weekend action in Central without being right smack in the middle of it. Feeling dizzy from all the frenzy down below? Take a break from it and relax with some quality shisha.
Above
Time to give the new MTR line to the Southside a whirl by making your next stop the radical rooftop bar Above, located on top of the trendy Ovolo Southside. Take your front row seat to a sweeping view of Wong Chuk Hang, spectacular at sunset. If that’s not impressive enough, sip on their quirky signature cocktails like the Jiggy Jiggy and Qing Dynasty while taking in the bar’s edgy décor.
Havana
Did you know that you can groove to mambo and cha cha music and treat yourself to exquisite rum concoctions without flying all the way to Cuba? Havana in Lan Kwai Fong brings the Cuban vibe to Hong Kong with its spacious tropical balcony, pulsating Latin music, cheerful waiters wearing fedora hats and a huge wall advertising Partagas, Havana’s most popular cigar factory.
