Hong Kong Bar Hopping｜Three Unique Spots for a Tipsy Experience

This time, I visited three bars in Hong Kong, and the experience ranged from disappointing to delightful! Here's a ranked list for your reference— 📍The Green Door A popular Instagram spot, but the experience was underwhelming 😞. You need to DM them on IG for reservations, and the response was super slow! As the first table of the night, the complimentary popcorn was already stale, and several drinks on the menu were "sold out." I ordered the Alexandria cocktail, which was just average. Despite the elegant decor, the service and quality control were disappointing 💔. 📍Penicillin An unexpected gem! This "laboratory-themed" bar turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The walls were adorned with test tubes and instruments, creating a unique vibe. I tried the DAIRY OF YOUNG cocktail, which had a perfect balance of creamy milk and alcohol, smooth with a hint of sweet and sour—instantly lifted my mood after the previous bar! The place was quiet and ideal for conversations. 📍GOKAN The absolute best of the night! This Japanese-style bar offers super convenient online reservations. A must-try is the WATERMELON COFFEEZZ! The refreshing watermelon paired with the roasted aroma of coffee beans was surprisingly harmonious. My friend ordered pasta, which took a while to arrive, but the tangy sauce was appetizing. We also added the GRILLED CORN COLADA, which was a delightful surprise—savory corn flavor mixed with coconut milk, perfect with the pasta! The attentive and thoughtful service made it a definite revisit ✅. From disappointment to surprise, the sequence of these three bars made the night unforgettable. Next time in Hong Kong, GOKAN will be my first stop!
