With its sights firmly fixed on a brighter year ahead, Aqua’s Welcome to the Future New Year’s Eve party begins with a five-course menu and offers patrons front-row seats to the light show display in the harbour. Priced at a fitting HK$2,023 per person, courses include slow-cooked lobster and Kurobuta pork with foie gras and truffle, with an optional two-hour free flow offering of Veuve Clicquot champagne and sake (HK$388). For those who want to keep the party going late into the night, live DJ performances on the rooftop – with two cocktails and free-flowing champagne – begin at 9.30pm.

2. Argo
After opening its doors in 2021, Argo was quick to earn itself a place on Asia’s 50 best bars list. Led by Lorenzo Antorini, Argo boasts a relaxed atmosphere and an innovative approach to cocktails, and it’s clear to see why its reputation has spread. Its New Year’s celebrations offer a range of futuristic cocktails and a night to remember. Tickets cost HK$1,320 and are inclusive of a glass of champagne. With a seated capacity of just 70, we suggest booking well in advance.
