Kinsman

This is a bar for anyone seeking an exceptional drinking experience in Hong Kong. The bar stands out with its Chinese / Canto culture, you can feel the stylish ambiance when you step into the door. Cocktail menu is a work of art and each drink is crafted using spirits and local ingredients (very innovative!). We ordered shrimp toast, salted egg yolk wings, and a lap cheung platter, all of which were delicious! If you are looking for a great night out, I think this is the place!

Probably one of my favourite cocktail bar! Love their interior & the music chosen is full of 60-80s HK style that reminds me of Danny Chan and Leslie Cheung that represents the legendary of HK pop music. All the cocktails are used so many local/ Chinese element to be the ingredients which makes it so special. I personally love the milk & honey, very refreshing and easy to drink. The prawn toast is super crunchy, not oily at all with the fresh & bouncy shrimp paste in the middle. LOVE IT SO MUCH! Will definitely go back and try out more of their new creations.

Loved the old hk decor of the bar. More surprising is the rich hk culture menu, which features cocktails very authentic to its root. I had a pleasant experience experimenting the different drinks. The classic canto dishes I eat were transformed into a cocktail drink. How cool is that. Didn't really try their food but will definitely try next time. There was only one small issue whereby a table was really noisy talking and so loud the atmosphere wasn't nice to chill in.

We were well taken care of by Rainy who was the bartender for the night. As foreigners first time in HK, Rainy took great care of us, explaining to us some of the unique drinks as well as gave us some welcome shots of a HK gin that’s locally distilled! She was professional and warm, helping us with a group picture as well. She also gave us great tips of a dim sum place to check out, and recommended other bars in the area to check out too. The warm hospitality is such a nice change frm the other more terse interactions we’ve had with other F&B places in HK. We are grateful for the experience and will highly recommend this place as a must-go! The drinks were also creatively shown in a booklet that explained the different dialect groups that came to HK and it made drink choosing so much fun. We simply could not just stop at one drink. Thank you again Rainy for making our experience at Kinsman a memorable one.

Interior was vibey and staff were nice but the drinks were bad. Ordered baijiu sour, milk & honey and papaya van winkle and struggled to finish all of them, especially the baijiu sour… it had a very weird after taste that didn’t taste pleasant at all. saw other bad reviews on the milk & honey afterwards too 😭

The bartenders are good. Thank you Moses & team for hosting & introducing the Cantonese cocktails concepts. An interesting new bar since 2023.

I found Kinsman when looking for cocktails with Cantonese flavours for our trip and they definitely delivered! My husband and I visited last night and really enjoyed the cocktails we ordered: the Milk & Honey and Satsuma Snow. We sat at the bar and Moses and Han (hope I got the spelling right) both treated us very well, giving us more insight into the spirits used in the drinks and also some bar recommendations. It was fun chatting with Han about Toronto bars as well! I loved the old school HK vibes and music as well. I really wanted to order more drinks but my alcohol tolerance is terrible. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully later this trip or the next time we’re in Hong Kong!

Ambiance and service top notch!! I got the chance to taste some baijiu, Maotai sour (?), and one of their special cocktails. Next time in HK I'll make sure to go back and taste some more. I didn't try any of their food. Just went there for tasting new drinks.
