Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for August 7-9


Bold choices are the theme of the weekend as we reach the peak of an extremely rainy summer. Singaporean concept Sago House arrives at Dead Poets to sling classics, while farm-to-bar concept Glass Gardener runs it back with seasonal classic twists at Gishiki Lounge. Close off the weekend by celebrating two years of Crushed Wine Bar with small-batch wines and free-flow pasta.

Sago House will be slinging classics on the night, but expect a top-tier atmosphere for your night out.
