Expect lively streets this weekend as mixologists from around the region gather in Hong Kong and Macau for the announcement of this year’s Asia’s 50 Best Bars on Tuesday, July 15.
There will be guest shifts aplenty before, during and after this weekend, but for those not looking to fight crowds to get drinks, there’s still a lot to explore. Yardley Brothers are launching a new ale at Blue Supreme, TokyoLima’s divine new menu is inspired by deities and kings from Japanese and Peruvian culture, and Lorenzo Antinori and Simone Caporale open the hotly-anticipated Montana.
