Spooky season is back, and Hong Kong’s hottest izakaya is putting on a frightful evening of hair-raising cocktails and tongue-tingling treats this Halloween weekend. Taking place on Saturday 30th October, the stylish Japanese drinking den is luring all partygoers down its haunted back alleyway in Lan Kwai Fong for “Netflix and Thrill”, a spectacular evening of drinking, dancing, costumed revelry, and devilish debauchery.
Get dressing up
This year involved a whole lot of TV bingeing, so there’s no excuse not to come dressed in your Halloween best! Get ready to fight crime as your favourite superhero from The Umbrella Academy, channel Parisian-chic a la Emily in Paris, or set off spine-tingling chills all around with the green jumpsuit number from dystopian thriller, Squid Game. Whether you go for the royal look from The Crown or Bridgerton, or don the bloody makeup from your favourite horror flick, you’ll want to go all out, as the best-dressed costume this year wins HK$3,000 credit to be used at Roji.
Ghosts and ghouls come hungry…
Food and drinks will be flowing all night, with Roji’s chefs dishing out all the greatest hits from its izakaya menu. Tuck into a spread of signature Roji bites, from the umami-packed seafood box loaded with briny ikura and snow crab meat ($268) , to succulent chicken karaage swiped through a creamy umeshu mayo ($118). Get your fill of seafood from jet-fresh sashimi to Japanese clams swimming in a sake broth ($198), or opt for buttery Japanese A4 Wagyu – the king of premium beef served with a zesty shiso ponzu ($298).
… And thirsty
After-work drinking is at the heart of izakaya culture, and Roji has you covered with thirst-quenching cocktails, refreshing highballs, and a sensational sake selection to keep the party vibes flowing all night. Pull up a chair at the slick bar or snag a seat alfresco and pop open a bottle to pair with the mouth-watering izakaya bites. At 9:30pm, the party kicks into high gear with free-flow packages available. Guests can purchase tickets online for $498 per person, or at the door for $598 and throw back our special Halloween cocktail, vodka, gin, rum, whisky, and tequila highballs, with hourly sake drum shots. And with a live DJ spinning old-school 90s hip-hop, you can shake your skeleton on the dance floor into the early hours
of the night.
