The Old Man

Hong Kong

No. 9 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2019; Asia's 50 Best Bars 2024, No. 71 (51-100); and No. 47 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2023.

In 2019 became even No. 1 on Asia's 50 Best Bars. The program names every cocktail after a Hemingway work and builds each with a literary attention to detail: clarified, fat-washed, and technique-driven drinks served in a space where vintage records spin and the atmosphere carries the easy confidence of a bar that has already proved everything it needed to prove. The Old Man's influence on a generation of Hong Kong bartenders endures long after its ranking years.
