Whisky & Words
Tucked away behind an easy-to-miss door on the steps of Shin Hing Street, this understated watering hole offers a laid-back, intimate vibe and purposely shies away from the grandeur of many of Hong Kong’s whisky bars in an attempt to make the spirit more approachable.
With muted tones, a high ceiling, and wallpaper which resembles a library of books, the bar offers a refreshing take on the whisky experience, boasting a menu of expertly balanced cocktails without the flashy presentation, and a fantastic happy hour which features the likes of a Coffee Old Fashioned ($88) for a bargain.
Regular drinks include the must-order Tangy and Smoky ($150), made with Talisker 10-year-old single malt and topped with rich foam made from egg white powder, and—for those who love their gin—the Dr Dre ($140), which blends Hendricks gin with homemade rose orgeat syrup, lime juice, and green apple. It’s the perfect spot to relax with friends with excellent drinks and zero intimidation.
