Tai Lung Fung

Hong Kong

Before the ‘Wong Kar-wai aesthetic’ became a global bar trend, this understated gem was quietly channelling vintage Hong Kong vibes in the most authentic way possible. On a peaceful side street near the historic Blue House, Tai Lung Fung captures the essence of 1960s Hong Kong without laying it on thick: think subtle nostalgic touches rather than Instagram bait.

The real story here, though, is their steadfast commitment to keeping drinks accessible. While nearby bars regularly hike their prices, Tai Lung Fung’s local owners have held the line for years, maintaining happy hour cocktails at HK$65 and regular serves at HK$75. It’s a refreshing throwback not just in style but in spirit, proving that some spots still prioritise their community over maximising profits.
