Pub entertainment in Hong Kong

  1. Deck ‘N Beer

    Offering exactly what it promises on its neon sign, this excellent new bar with no theme or fuss offers a deck, drinks including a good range of bottled beers and not much else – oh, apart from those spectacular waterfront views.

    Delaney’s

    At this immensely popular Irish watering hole you can choose between the black-and-white-tiled pub on the ground floor and a sports bar and restaurant on the 1st floor. The food is good and plentiful; the kitchen allegedly goes through 400kg of potatoes a week. There’s also a branch on Peking Rd in Tsim Sha Tsui.

    China Bear

    The China Bear is the most popular expat pub-restaurant in Mui Wo, with a wonderful open bar facing the water. It’s right by the ferry terminal, making it the perfect spot for your first and last beer in Mui Wo, and for those in between perhaps.

    Devil’s Advocate

    This pleasant pub in the thick of things is as relaxed as they come. The bar spills onto the pavement and staff are charming. ‘Devilling Hour’ (5pm to 7pm) is even cheaper than happy hour, and there are cheap drinks on Wednesday night.

    East End Brewery & Inn Side Out

    These two related pubs flank a central covered terrace where you can while away the hours on a warm evening, sipping beers and throwing peanut shells on the ground. East End has imported microbrews, and also has a branch at Quarry Bay.

    Patio Café

    This open-air, café-cum-pub attached to the windsurfing centre at Tung Wan Beach, known locally as Lai Kam's in honour of its owner, is a Cheung Chau institution. Come here for a sundowner.

    Whiskey Priest

    The first, and so far only, Irish pub (hence the ‘e’ in ‘whiskey’) to hit Lan Kwai Fong has Guinness, Kilkenny and Harp on tap, and 60 types of whiskey.

    Smugglers Inn

    This scruffy but good-natured place is arguably the most popular pub on the Stanley waterfront, offering perhaps the closest thing to an English pub in Hong Kong.

    White Stag

    This is a somewhat subdued (suity, not snooty) pub with open frontage and such filling dishes as sausage and beans, cottage pie, fish and chips and chilli.

    Poets

    This friendly workaday pub with literary aspirations is a pleasant place for a pint and serves typical pub meals, such as pies, chips and beans for $58.
