Aqua Spirit

Vertigo Views
This posh bar features one of the best views of Hong Kong. There are sometimes special nights where they have DJs but the crowd is often very random. People come mostly for the dramatic and romantic view.

Feather-Boa

Chilled Vibes
Part camp lounge bar, part bordello, this is a former antiques store with the furniture left delectably en situ. It's discreet and hard to notice out front but full of groovy people inside who come to chill in an ultra-friendly vibe. Surprising this, since they're mostly media types, models and fashionistas.
