The Beer Bay

Less a bar than a takeaway stall on the Central waterfront, the Beer Bay is a hole-in-the-wall that houses an impressive collection of British ales from regional craft breweries like Batemans and St Austell. There are also cocktails and a wide selection of wines—all of which cost less than half of what you’d pay at a typical Hong Kong bar. Every evening, a motley crowd of ferry commuters and students linger around the stand-up tables and steps near the bar, taking in the view across Victoria Harbour and Kowloon. The Beer Bay is simply a no-nonsense, unpretentious place to have a drink with a friend or two.
