Best bars in Hong Kong

Central and SoHo hold most of Hong Kong's best bars, among them Bar Leone, a Roman-style neighbourhood bar that has twice topped the World's 50 Best Bars. COA, also in Central, goes deep into agave with a list that runs to forty-odd pages, and Penicillin on Hollywood Road turns kitchen offcuts back into its menu. In Tsim Sha Tsui, Darkside at the Rosewood pairs live jazz and harbour views with rare aged spirits.
