Food is always best enjoyed with good company, shared plates passed around the table, stories traded between bites, and moments that linger long after the last course.

Whether it’s menus designed for sharing, elegant private rooms for special occasions, or spacious layouts that comfortably welcome larger parties, these dining spots prove that world-class dining doesn’t have to be a solo affair.

Margarita MilePhoto by El Tequileño

Hong Kong's Margarita Mile is back this 2026 — and this time, the grand prize is a flight to the birthplace of tequila itself: Mexico.

The bar crawl runs from Sept. 1 to 16, 2026 across 10 of the city's favorite bars, pouring exclusive El Tequileño cocktails and margaritas. The event returns fresh off winning Best Event of the Year at The Spirits Business Awards 2025, and this year the grand prize has been upgraded to a trip for two to Tequila, Mexico.

Participating venues include The Old Man, Honky Tonks Tavern, COA, Dead Poets, Bourke's, Dragonfly, Socio, The Pontiac, Lockdown, and Mixing Room.

Here's how to join: Grab a free Margarita Mile "passport" at any participating bar, then collect a stamp for every El Tequileño margarita or cocktail purchased.

Ten stamps earn entry into the grand prize draw, where one winner will receive a trip for two to Mexico, including return flights, airport transfers, three nights' accommodation at Casa Salles, and a distillery and agave field tour hosted by the El Tequileño team. Collectors with five or more stamps are entered into a second draw for a bottle of El Tequileño 1959 The Sassenach Select Tequila, worth HK$1,208, with two winners selected. Either tier also comes with a free shot and shot glass on the spot.

The Beat Asia is proud to be the Exclusive Media Partner of this year's edition alongside Air Canada and the Mexican Chamber of Commerce who have signed on as official partners. Margarita Mile Passports must be submitted by Sept. 23, and winners will be notified by Sept. 30.

The mile wraps up on Sept. 16, Mexican Independence Day, with a closing party hosted by Honky Tonks Tavern.

"Hong Kong's Margarita Mile already proved itself by taking home Best Event of the Year, and for 2026 we wanted to raise the stakes even further," said Steffin Oghene, Vice President of Business Development at El Tequileño.

Simon Disler, Co-Founder of Drinks99, said: “The passport and stamps are the same, but the prize is completely different — the stay at Rosewood last year was pretty good, but this year we’re flying someone to Mexico."

Whether you're chasing the grand prize or just want an excuse to bar hop with a purpose, Margarita Mile gives Hong Kong tequila lovers over two weeks to do both. Passports are free, and Mexico is calling!

Hailing from and produced in the eponymous Tequila, Mexico, El Tequileño is one of the country's few remaining single-brand distilleries. Made with volcanic spring water from the nearby Tequila volcano, the distillery has a longstanding history of additive-free tequila, with open fermentation production happening under century-old mango trees. Learn more about El Tequileño on their website, Instagram, or in person through the Grand Prize of this year's Margarita Mile!

Bangkok's Karun Thai Tea Toasts 7 Years with First Overseas Shop in HK

Karun Thai MainPhoto by Instagram/ Karun Thai Tea

Karun Thai Tea, the Bangkok-based tea brand known for their rich milk teas and playful flavors, is marking their 7th anniversary by opening their first location outside Thailand. And the tea brand is landing in Hong Kong!

The brand announced the milestone on Instagram, inviting fans to "celebrate its next chapter together." Karun hasn't shared the new shop's address or a specific opening date, but the timing lines up with a giveaway that flies winners to Hong Kong in late October, hinting at when doors might open.

Karun, which opened in 2019, built its Bangkok following on classic Thai iced milk tea, roasted variations, and a rotating menu of fruit- and floral-infused riffs. The Hong Kong shop marks the brand's first step outside of Thailand — a fitting jump to a city that takes its bubble tea seriously.

To mark the occasion, Karun is running a giveaway for their membership program from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15, 2026. Every THB700 spent on a single receipt earns one entry, and entries stack. Separate smaller receipts can't be combined to qualify.

What's the prize? Round-trip business-class tickets to Hong Kong. Four sets of two seats. Winners also receive a "Karun Travel Kit," which includes a voucher for special menu items at the new Hong Kong shop and dining credit at Anping Grill or Master Beef Prime.

Karun is also giving away seven Regular Tea Sets, seven weeks of free daily Thai tea (one cup a day), and seven bundles of seven free toppings.

Winners will be announced on Sept. 21, 2026 across Karun's Facebook, Instagram, and LINE accounts, with final confirmations from the winners by Sept. 25. The prize trip is scheduled for Oct. 23 to 25, 2026. Entrants need an active Karun Membership account. Catering orders are not counted toward the giveaway, and only one grand prize is allowed per person. Full contest rules are available through Karun's social media channels.

Karun has yet to publish their Hong Kong menu. But their Thailand lineup offers a solid preview for curious tea lovers. The core menu spans traditional Thai milk and black teas, roasted Assam, barley, and genmaicha versions, and specialty flavors like sweet osmanthus and cherry berry.

There are more dessert-like combinations that mix yuzu, apple, coconut, and more, while those seeking healthier options can swap in oat, almond, or soy milk.

Every drink is customizable by ice level and sugar percentage, as is typical parlance in a milk tea store. Their topping bar covers homemade boba, brown sugar konjac, whipped cream, and cookie crumble, among others. Karun also offers a slushie lineup, bottled teas for on-the-go, gelato, and seasonal flavors.

For more updates and information, follow Karun Thai Tea on Instagram.
