Sheung Wan Bars & Nightlife

You might not expect Hong Kong’s thrice-crowned best bar to focus on artisanal tequila and mezcal, but here it is. COA’s signature menu fuses flavors from Mexico (mole, ancho chile) with those of Hong Kong (bitter melon, Sichuan pepper, Chinese pickled cabbage), and every drink is fantastic. A line starts forming here about half an hour before opening, so if you don’t plan to arrive early, come prepared for a wait. Which, all things considered, is not that bad: You scan a QR code, and your phone shows where you are in the queue in real time, so you can explore Sheung Wan or drink elsewhere until it’s your turn.
