Places to Drink Wine: Pier 7 Café & Bar

Pier 7 Café & Bar brings new meaning to a drink with a view.

Perched atop the Star Ferry pier in Central, Pier 7 Café & Bar offers one of the most stunning and up-close views of Hong Kong’s futuristic skyline available at any bar in the city.

Places to Drink Wine: Flutes

Champagne heaven.

Nestled in between some of SoHo’s finest restaurants is Elgin Street’s newest place to be seen, Flutes. As the name suggests, Flutes is a champagne bar with an extensive wine list. With seven champagnes by the glass including Mumm Brut Rose and Lanson Black label, and seventeen by the bottle, Flutes certainly is the real deal. The champagne bar in Kings Cross it is not, but Hong Kong has been waiting for a champagne bar that serves great champagnes at sensible prices for a long time and finally it has landed.

With seven champagnes by the glass, including Mumm Brut Rose and Lanson Black label, joining seventeen by the bottle, Flutes certainly is the real deal.
