Sip & Save: Pre-Game Like a Pro at These Bars
The Aftermath
Ominously peering up at the passer-byers of Wyndham Street, the bright blue neon sign of The Aftermath beckons you underground for a boozy night of fun — with games, comedy, live music, and themed trivia spaced out throughout the month.
You might be thinking: The Aftermath sure does wear a lot of hats for a dive bar, and you’d be right. With new events and open mics switching out on a near-daily basis, each visit will be different to the last. It just takes the little trip down the subterranean staircase to find out what kind of night you’ll be having.
Where: The Aftermath, L/G, 57-59 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong
Blue Supreme
Upper Lascar Row has long been a tourist trap among Hongkongers, but Blue Supreme is a hidden gem that even locals don’t sleep on. Nestled among antique stores, this tasteful and subdued beer bar offers a good range of brews straight from the tap, as well as a promising food menu.
The laidback atmosphere, modern jazz soundtrack, and dark teal walls create a half-rustic wholly inviting ambience for you to sip the night away. More than half of the drinks menu is dedicated to beer, with the bar specialising in funky, wild, and live brews born out of Belgian traditions and local breweries.
From farmhouse ales to saisons, spontaneously fermented lambics, sour brown ales, and more, Blue Supreme offers a unique and unforgettable beer experience.
Where:Blue Supreme, G/F, 21 Tung Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Call Me Al
From F&B industry icons Beckaly Franks (The Pontaic) and Ezra Star (Mostly Harmless) comes cosy neighbourhood den, Call Me Al.
Having opened in Sheung Wan in December of last year, Call Me Al quickly became a stalwart drinking destination for locals in the area. Named after the famous song “You Can Call Me Al” by American musician Paul Simon, its easy-going sense of place and innovative menu are its simple recipe for a great night cap with friends.
What makes Call Me Al a worthy trip is general manager Chloe Roses’ bubbly personality, and her capital H.O.T fire show when preparing the punchy “Zombie Al,” a mezcal, rum, and paprika bitters cocktail.
Where:Call Me Al, G/F, 123 Queen’s Road West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
