Hong Kong’s biggest craft brewery Gweilo Beer to start production at the end of this month
There’s a lot more to Hong Kong nightlife than the Lan Kwai Fong strip – from underground clubs to craft breweries, dive bars to live music joints. All you have to do is show up with an open wallet (and a high tolerance for alcohol).

Second Draft
This collaboration between Hong Kong brewery Young Master Ales and chef May Chow of Little Bao and Happy Paradise serves up an extensive list of draft brews, many of which are made right here in Hong Kong.
It’s set in a lovely, high-ceilinged space with a selection of endearingly vintage Hong Kong touches. The crowd is Tai Hang hipsters and the menu is fusion done right: the mapo burrata in particular ticks all the right boxes.
