The Old Man

Central

Hong Kong's The Old Man has become an important part of Asia's cocktail scene since it opened in 2017, not only joining the top 10 of The World's 50 Best Bars in 2018 (and winning the Highest New Entry Award in the process), but also taking top spot in Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2019.

 

Featuring a programme of innovative cocktails inspired by Ernest Hemingway that are continuously being refined and reworked, this bar serves big, unusual flavours that are best suited to those with an open mind. Enhanced using techniques such as fat-washing, infusions and cold fermentation, the unusual ingredients include clarified banana ghee, snail tequila, bread wine and uni gin, topped off with garnishes like a citrus cloud or a ball of steel wool that’s set alight to startling effect.

Tatler Tip

The seats along the T-shaped bar are the best for witnessing mixology theatrics.
