Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for July 17-19


This yearโ€™s list of Asiaโ€™s 50 Best Bars was announced earlier this week, and bartenders have poured into Hong Kong and Macau from all over to celebrate the awards. However, a few stellar regional bars are still conducting guest shifts and keeping the party going โ€“ for this weekend at least!

Three of Seoulโ€™s best bars will take over at Lobster Bar this Thursday, while Gossip hosts its first ever guest shift featuring a stellar bartender from Kumamoto in Japan. Avoca rounds off the weekend โ€“ as well as its own series of guest shifts โ€“ with a sky-high Sydney concept to really put a bow on this celebratory week of mixology.

M+MSโ€™ Woo Suck (Korean rice soup in a glass), Basil Wheat Beer and Berry Milk Stout.
