The Diplomat Hong Kong

9 secret bars and restaurants in Hong Kong only locals know about - SilverKris

"A speakeasy-style cocktail bar tucked on the lower-ground floor of H Code that pairs artfully polished interiors—brass, leather and timber—with a bar-within-a-bar format: a public-facing gastropub up front and an intimate back bar with its own entrance, drinks menu and DJ booth. With award-winning mixologist John Nugent at the helm, expect inventive riffs on classics (the Boulevardier here uses a rye-bourbon blend for a rich, oaky profile) alongside hearty gastropub fare such as truffle fries, Cubano and Reuben sandwiches and a signature Diplomat Burger; the Irish Coffee is a standout, made with Jameson, Martell VSOP, cold cream and demerara." - Vanessa Tai
