Tatler Dining Guide - Hong Kong
The Sea
Rich mahogany and navy velour meld with lush brass accents and warm lighting in this sleek Sheung Wan bar. Opened by the prodigal team of mixologists behind The Old Man, The Sea follows a similar formula of moody hues and fantastical cocktails in an intimate setting. The core menu is a concise list of 10 original cocktails that have been concocted inhouse and feature unexpected ingredients; Cocktail #1, for example, is a stunning mix of seaweed gin and lacto-fermented pineapple rind soda. For those with a sweeter tooth, Cocktail #3 blends peanut-butter bourbon with tart green banana. Each cocktail is remarkably well-balanced and truly lives up to the original bar’s stellar reputation. If out-there cocktails aren’t your cup of tea, a well-crafted classic such as a margarita or an Old Fashioned can also be made on request.
