We didn't have any particular bars to check out. There isn't a need to. We simply hung out at wherever convenient, with the caveat- it cannot be fancy. For the friends, they said that once done with their work day, they didn't want to sit at bars in Central anymore. Hahahah. Okaaaay.
We found ourselves in Sai Wan lots this trip. Even found a comfy bar in Kennedy Town to hang out at with the friends- the one-year-old Alvy's that has decent beers on tap, a huge range of American whiskey and small batch bourbon, and gin, and trots out good sourdough pizzas via their brick oven named 'The Big Red Bitch'. The staff wore tees printed with a statement on the back- 'NO SLICES'. LOL It's an unassuming neighborhood bar and exudes quite comfy vibes. We returned thrice.
I have no idea why the man is all excited about being in Hong Kong on a short trip only to get a pizza. Of course the friends were more than keen to indulge him since they're always up for pizza. They like the ones at Alvy's. Why is pizza so popular? Luckily (for me) I'm usually fed and happy before arriving at Alvy's. I can't quite do bar food anymore especially if they're all fried. If I make the mistake of doing fried pub grub and beer, in about three hours, my stomach would totally rebel and I'd get the runs from all the oil.
Plenty of beers and imperial stouts here. I'm spoilt for choice by the many taps. The other night, after a boisterous dinner at Yardbird (where I was traumatized by way too much chicken), we adjourned to Alvy's to 'wind down'. I felt bloated and skipped the beer. Opted for a gin and tonic. Two glasses and great conversation and company sufficed for a pleasant night out.
