Darkside
Chrysanthemum Cocktail

Always on my hit list when I visit Hong Kong. One of our fav bars in Asia. Has a fantastic in-house jazz R&B band, a tier 1 atmosphere, with awesome drinks. This place impresses. It is hard to find good, consistent live music.

Comments:
Darkside is one of the coolest and most eccentric bars I have ever been to; I can’t stop talking about how intriguing this place is when I meet up with friends (including locals)
It’s located inside an exclusive hotel (the Rosewood) and you do have to go through a bunch of elevators and hallways to get to it but boy oh boy is it worth the trek
There was live jazz with the band playing motown classics, there was free chocolate and nut bark that you could have as much or as little as you like, and finally there was this amazing “cocktail game” where you could roll some dice and depending on the number, get a seasonally inspired cocktail
For us, we didn’t come in with long pants on, so they did let us in, but actually gave us pants to change into - definitely a 1st for me!
Overall, I loved this particular spot - it made me feel bougie, classy, high on life
