The Aubrey

The food was excellent at the Aubrey. Great taste, especially the snacks/starters were on point. Hamachi rolls and kerage chicken were the best. The mains were overall disappointing, the udon were a bit strange, slippery and eggy and milky. The pork however was super tasty and soft. We came while the best bar take over was on, and the drinks were a bot meh, being at the different bars, the drinks presented at the Aubrey were disappointing, mild not a good representation of the HK best bars. Finally, the sitting area was wonderful. Super chill, great interiors but freezing cold. Must also say that the cool interiors clash a bit with the izakaya idea. Was like being in an English gastro pub where served Japanese style pub food.

Atmosphere, decoration, location, drinks, food all world class. Thoroughly recommend this spot. It has deservedly become a place to be seen on Friday nights too. Well done to the team behind this, in a notoriously competitive F&B environment

The Aubrey in Hong Kong, located in the Mandarin Oriental, is an absolute gem! The interior is stunning, with a chic and intimate ambiance that feels perfect for a romantic date or celebrating something special. I recently visited, and the service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing. The drinks were fantastic, and I’d highly recommend trying their Negroni—it was perfectly balanced. The whole experience felt luxurious but still warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a classy spot for cocktails or a memorable evening out, The Aubrey is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!

Went to Aubrey for drinks on a cool, cloudy Saturday evening and felt instantly uplifted. We got a table by the window and got a great view of the harbour and the giant Ferris wheel. 5 stars for the following: - Service (our waiter recommended amazing drinks for us) - Comfort (the seats were ultra comfortable) - Bartender (the drinks were DELICIOUS) - Atmosphere (the VIBE was uplifting, classy, and calm) - Music (perfect volume and genre) - Interior decor (special mention for how classy it truly looks - not all hotel bars look this presentable in Hong Kong) Go only if you wish to have a guaranteed special time 😎

In Between the Line is hands down the best cocktail I’ve had in Hong Kong—and I’ve been to many bars. I’d love to return and try more from their menu. The atmosphere is classic and elegant, fitting for a bar in the Mandarin Oriental. However, service was a letdown. I visited solo at 2:30 PM when it wasn’t busy, but the bartenders were preoccupied with prep work, like carving ice, and weren’t very friendly. I expected some casual conversation but didn’t get much engagement. I’ll definitely revisit for the cocktails, but next time, I’ll go at a different time or day for a better experience.

Atmosphere 8.5/10 Located inside the Mandarin Oriental hotel. Accordingly very high-end atmosphere and interior design elements. There are two different bar areas, with the main bar positioned in the middle of the room, creating a nice cocktail bar vibe. However, for the floor it is located on, the views are poor. The dress code is smart casual. Drinks 6/10 Recommendation: - The menu design is nice with a lot of signature cocktails, which all have some history behind them. However, the drinks did not taste good, nor did they have any interesting presentation orgarnish. Normal glassware is used. Nice coasters are provided. Service 5/10 This was a big disappointment for a place like the Mandarin Oriental. The bartender had no clue about their menu and couldn’t explain it or tell me where I can find food options. They serve water and complimentary snacks on the spot. But the price tag is just too high for the service level offered.

Brilliant bento box style lunch. Really cool environment and great service. I look forward to coming back for dinner. The lunch is not too expensive if you go with the set menu.

Gorgeous interior design. The ambiance is chic and intimate, perfect for a romantic evening or a special celebration. Throughout our evening the service we received was top-notch. Food was very delicious, so flavourful and well prepared. Drinks were just as great. Couldn't be more satisfied with our dining experience here. Edit: A week later I decided to come back to try their lunch set menu. There were three options to choose from, and additional sides you could add to. Just like our dinner, our lunch was delicious and while we dined we received excellent service from the waitress. Their Crème brûlée was amazing, not too sweet which was perfect. Glad we came back.

#10 on asia's 50 best bars?? stumbled upon it only because it was conveniently located at the mandarin oriental that I was staying at in hk! the japanese vibes will draw you in as will their proudly hanging accolades! a very welcoming team that seated me promptly, with much visually appealing distractions to digest as you are shown to your table or bar counter seats. a definite posh feel without feeling stuffy. your date will be impressed! ;) the victoria harbour view should also improve even more when unsightly construction cranes are withdrawn when whatever they are building completes. sophisticated snacks, with just that extra touch, that makes you want to linger and libate unabated. frequent tie ups with the likes of hennessy and also baccarat make it all the more special over and above their already spectacular classics and signatures. the potency of their cocktails evident as i can't help feeling flushed and tipsy at first sip! yet a balance well struck with creative craft pairing of quality ingredients! just like how you would drag yourself out of bed for the hotel's opulent buffet breakfast, i found myself back here every day of my dirty weekend! ;) no, they aren't #1 but yes, i'll be here again at this #10!!
