THE WOODS
17 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong
www.thewoods.hk Not all those who wander into The Woods are lost—but if you’re having some trouble deciding on which cocktail to sample, the whip-smart team of young mixologists would be more than happy to give some guidance. Open since 2014, this chic Central bar is miles away from its Wyndham Street brethren a stone’s throw away—descending narrow the staircase into the underground den sets the mood for serious imbibing, where classics are thoughtfully deconstructed and reimagined with intelligence and flair. The Peach Old Fashioned is a signature, though be warned that the innocence of the fruit does not mean this is a delicate drink—it’s a proper slow sipper, best enjoyed not too quickly, and long into the night.
