Top 5 Rooftop Bars in Hong Kong

In the center of Hong Kong’s vertically developed urban area, the top floors of many high-rise buildings are rented out to restaurants with elegant environments. These places often have outdoor terraces and enjoy pleasant scenery. This article will list the top five rooftop outdoor bars for everyone. Whether it is a date or a trip to Hong Kong, they are an excellent choice.

This ranking is very subjective and full of bias. If you are not convinced, you are welcome to fight.

Fifth place - Wooloomooloo, Wan Chai

As a steak restaurant, this restaurant that is pronounced "Don't Lust Catalogue" really has an English name that is particularly easy to remember. As for the steak, we will comment on it in another article. Located on the 31st floor of The Hannessy Commercial Building in the middle of Wan Chai, from the outdoor bar of this restaurant, you can see Central to the west, Victoria Harbor to the east, and Kwun Tong to the east.

However, since the building is not close to the sea, but is on Hennessy Road, which is five or six streets away from the sea, the view of Victoria Harbor is more blocked, and it feels like it is surrounded by podium buildings. Let's change the purpose and enjoy the street view of Hong Kong Island from top to bottom.

Fourth place - Sugar in Taikoo Shing

I saw this name I didn’t think of that Maroon 5 song~~

The outdoor part of this restaurant on the 32nd floor is slightly different from the others. They are all booth sofas with large umbrellas above their heads, which is more suitable for a few people. Come and occupy a comfortable booth to drink, chat and watch. Of course, it is not ruled out that the outdoor decorations will be changed regularly. Because Tai Koo is relatively close to the east side of Hong Kong Island, there are relatively few people here. In addition to enjoying the intoxicating sunset looking to the west, you can also get a close-up view of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal on the other side of Victoria Harbor - the old airport in the past.

An important reason for ranking fourth is that the surrounding glass is very high. Even if you are sitting down, you can only see the scenery through the glass even if you are standing, so some points will be deducted.

Third place - Sevva, Central

The famous Sevva is actually ranked 3rd Three, many people must have looked at him with disdain at this moment. I know that Sevva is located next to Statue Square in Central, among the office buildings, and close to the MTR exit. It is a bar frequented by many Brick movers. In addition, Michelle Reis once hosted a banquet here, and Carina Lau also often ate here, which made Sevva even more popular. Labeled with elegance.

However, in Central, a city with many buildings, Sevva is only located on the 25th floor of Prince's Building. Although it claims to have a 360-degree view, the main view is either the Standard Chartered HSBC Cheung Kong Group or the Bank of China Lippo Center. , it’s not enough to work nearby all day, why should you come here to see people working overtime through the glass... Of course, I would still recommend it if you are traveling to Hong Kong. It is very suitable to take pictures of the night view of Central.

Second place - Eyebar, Tsim Sha Tsui

I think a senior student told me that he When buying a house in Kowloon, in addition to facing north and south, another point is that the view of Victoria Harbor will be better if you look towards Hong Kong Island.

Except for the ultra-tall residential building on the left, there is no building in Tsim Sha Tsui higher than Eyebar. It is no exaggeration to say that it has an unobstructed panoramic view of the Victoria Harbor. It is even visually better than the one from the top of the mountain. It is closer to the feeling of "the world's best night view".

However, there are obvious reasons for ranking second. First of all, the outdoor terrace of Eyebar is a bit narrow. There were quite a lot of people when I went there last time. As a result, a few of us were squeezed into the corner next to it, which happened to be the smoking area. Secondly, the glass guardrail on the balcony is exactly as the name suggests. There is a bar at the height of the eye. Compared with the bars in the same area that I introduced earlier, the guardrail is a standard 1.1 meters high. It can You can easily take in the entire panoramic view of Tsim Sha Tsui, and taking a panoramic photo is a piece of cake. This is where Eyebar really has a fly in the ointment.

First place - Tott's, Causeway Bay

This restaurant is located on the top floor of the Excelsior Hotel The Western restaurant offers a variety of food styles and is located next to the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. The fence is at the perfect height and the outdoor dining area offers a 270-degree view of Victoria Harbor. When shooting the sunset from here, you can put the Victoria Harbor between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui right in the middle of the frame, with the two skyscrapers IFC and ICC on either side, which is unparalleled.

The bird's eye view shows the busy traffic flow at the entrance of the Causeway Bay Cross-harbour Tunnel; on the left is the dense podium of Hong Kong Island, and on the right is the coastline of the Kowloon Peninsula. It’s a great idea to set up your phone and take a time-lapse video.

Don't rush, don't rush. Don't rush!

I know what you are thinking.

Here are a few bar reviews that are not on the list.

The famous Ozone is located on the 118th floor above the ICC in West Kowloon, the tallest building in Hong Kong. At an altitude of 490 meters, it is undoubtedly the highest bar in the world. But the reason why it is not on the list is that firstly, the so-called "outdoor" part of the glass curtain wall is basically the same as the floor height, and it is open to the sky above the head, and there is no outdoor feeling at all; secondly, no matter where you look and how you take pictures, there will be obvious reflections on the glass; The most important thing is that Ozone is too high. From here, you can only see the tops of most buildings. Especially at night, the night view feels dark and not worth seeing, let alone increasing consumption.

Lan Kwai Fong C? LA VI is located on the 25th floor of the California Building. It is also a unique rooftop bar where you can experience the bustling nightlife of Lan Kwai Fong from a high position. It's just that the scenery in the depths of D'Aguilar Street is average.

Skye in Causeway Bay is also a bar on the top floor of a hotel. It is on the 27th floor of the Park Lane Hotel, next to Victoria Park. The lighting effects in the bar are quite dazzling. In addition to Victoria Harbour, you can also overlook Victoria Park, Hong Kong's largest park. Only the view on the west side will be partially blocked by the taller Excelsior Hotel.

The panoramic bar in Tsim Sha Tsui mentioned above is here:
