Wan Chai & Northeast Hong Kong Island
On the 49th floor of the Upper House, Cafe Grey pulls in a suited after-office crowd for drinks, dinner and corporate back-slapping in an atmosphere of clubby exclusivity. Even if you're not on the company expense account, it's worth stretching to one drink at the 14m-long stone bar simply to experience the sensational harbour views.
Cafe Grey is also a popular spot for daily afternoon tea, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.
