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

Overall a good experience, I was more impressed with the drinks than the food. Don’t take me wrong, burgers were good, but not sure I would consider it the best in HK. Definitely fresh, definitely well cooked - but really the best? The quality of the meat was prime, but perhaps nothing special? Drinks however were classic but yet with a twist. Atmosphere was interesting, ideal if you want a buzzing place, not so good if you want a chill evening. Definitely to go back for an easy snack with friends that want to taste buzzing HK vibe.

Another of my favorite cocktail bars in Central Hong Kong. Front bar is open for all and has only a few tables and a small bar. The secret back room is for members and their guests. One of the best Irish Coffees I’ve had. They also serve some great casual bar food like chicken nuggets and a great burger.

We were recommended The Diplomat for a good pint of Guinness as we were waiting for our table at Bar Leone and we were not disappointed. Coming from the UK we were craving our weekly pint and even in the UK a good pint of Guinness is hard to come by. It was absolutely fantastic at The Diplomat. We also shared the most delicious fries and largest bowl of olives I’ve ever had. The waitress was also so attentive and we have been recommending all our friends to go! We ended up enjoying it more than Bar Leone.

Came for the burger cos it’s been highly rated by many. Woweeeee it did not disappoint. Definitely pricy & somewhat small for the price but it was top quality & cooked perfectly. Melted in my mouth. Loved the minor details of separating the tomato & gherkin from the burger. Amazing service too!!!

One of the best places in central for drinks and food. The Cubano sandwich was amazing and comes paired with their crisps made in-house. In fact, even their ketchup is made in-house. Highly recommend. Service by Cyrus was also very good. All these praises are actually quite rare to find/say in HK.

Very nice place, good service and ambience. The food was good especially the mac and cheese and spinach au gratin. Loved the cocktails.

The Diplomat is a fantastic spot with a great vibe and excellent service. The menu may be small, but everything is delicious—especially the burgers, which are easily the best in town. The cocktails are top-notch too, with a good mix of classics and creative options. Definitely worth a visit!

Best burger in Hong Kong, hands down. The fried chicken burger was equally as good. Truffle Mac n cheese was top notch. Can’t fault the service, atmosphere at all. The food is what you want to come for!
