Enter through large Buddha doors to a clever mellow space with low tables and opulent seating. I like this bar for several reasons. For one, it's independently owned rather than part of a restaurant/bar conglomerate, which is as rare in Lan Kwai Fong these days as late-night sobriety. Also, it's classier than most of the bars here, with a Zen-like decor and a statue of Buddha at the entrance. Finally, it's a great place for people-watching, with outdoor spectator seating for the never-ending pedestrian parade. The DJ pumps out music to soothe the soul in a sumptuous setting. Off-putting for me, however, are the names of some of its cocktails (I probably would not go for the Cock-Sucking Cowboy), and what would the Buddha say if he could comment on the pole dancing that takes place here some nights And when the DJ starts livening things up Monday to Saturday nights, this bar ends up being not much different from its competitors. Happy hour is from 5 to 10pm daily. It's open Sunday to Thursday 5pm to 3am and Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 6am.
