Mid-century modern lines, light wood, and zero pretension set the tone at this cocktail bar on Gough Street, where Shelley Tai, formerly of Singapore's Nutmeg & Clove, has landed back in Hong Kong. The concise menu leans on classics with quiet twists, and the Kobe-style highball, frozen whiskey with chilled Japanese soda and no ice, does the talking. Asia's 50 Best Bars gave Tai the Altos Bartenders' Bartender Award in 2026.
