This September, Downtown Cocktails will be making its way to Chater Garden in Central with 15 of the region's best bars to bring a range of affordable cocktails, live musics and workshops
There’s nothing like a delicious Instagram-worthy cocktail to hit the spot during a busy week in Hong Kong. From pocket-friendly happy hours to luxury restaurants and bars, the city is full of great places to sample inventive cocktails that will put you in the mood to party. This September, Downtown Cocktails brings unique and affordable cocktails to Central for a weekend, along with workshops, live music and more.
Downtown Cocktails: Chater Garden, Central
From 8-10 September, 2017, Downtown Cocktails is set to bring some of Hong Kong’s best bars together, all in the name of producing unique and affordable cocktails – something that we enthusiastically get behind. 15+ local bars from around Hong Kong will take part in the event, each bringing a little slice of their bar to Chater Garden in Central.
15+ of the most popular bars in town will be taking part in the event, including the newly-opened Fang Fang, Potato Head, Winstons Coffee, Picada and Aqua. And the team at Downtown Cocktails tells us that there are more bars to be announced soon.
Live music, workshops and more
On top of sampling some the tastiest cocktails in town, guests can settle in for live music, with a different genre running through each day. On Friday evening, live jazz music will be serenading visitors at the opening of the event, while a range of disco, soul and funk will be the soundtrack to Saturday. On Sunday, the team from Potato Head will be programming a selection of tunes, which will no doubt include the bar’s penchant for old-school hip hop.
A range of cocktail workshops such as crafting the perfectly spiced Bloody Mary and making an excellent Espresso Martini will also be available, with pre-registration available through the website.
A selection of cocktail competitions will also be running throughout the event, and a Sunday Yoga Session in partnership with Iris will be taught by Sophia Greengrass, so you can really stretch it out before sampling all the boozy drinks.
Nice Pops will be creating some tasty alcoholic treats for the event, while Anoosh Tattoos will be providing temporary tattoos, while Mopsamsterdam is set to adorn guests in glittered makeup and facepaint. Make the most of the sunny weather and get involved at Downtown Cocktails.
