The Bar at Dockyard review: best food court bar in Hong Kong is in Hung Hom
The choice is fairly limited but the drinks are good value and the bar staff know what they’re doing. And if you’re feeling hungry, there are plenty of options nearby
The vibe: Dockyard is a food court in the Kerry Hotel, but you could just drop in for a drink at The Bar without eating. The food outlets are all set up to respond to orders via a mobile communications app – otherwise they have to be placed at a cashier counter – but you can pay for your drinks the old-fashioned way and either take them to a table or occupy a bar stool and consume them on the spot.
Wherever you are, the food vendors will deliver. Loosely speaking this is a sports bar, with video screens either side of a horseshoe counter. The drinks list is pretty short, but cocktails are professionally mixed and presented, staff are friendly and helpful, and there are harbour views.
The drinks: The house has its own beer, brewed by Young Master, so I started with a Dockyard Lager (HK$58/US$7.40). It is not one of the brewery’s more characterful creations, but was pleasantly refreshing. There are six more draught beers, and three bottled.
