A collaboration between the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Hong Kong F&B group Maximal Concepts, The Aubrey is an eccentric Japanese izakaya housed atop the hotel and boasting expansive views of Victoria Harbour. The bar is easy on the eye too, punctuated with plush vintage furniture, quirky knick knacks and beautiful lamps. Led by the ever charming and dapper Devender Seghal, a bar legend who embodies true hospitality and serves up excellently crafted Japanese libations. Think Japanese whiskies, awamoris and shochu to create signature drinks such as the Queen’s Gimlet with Roku Gin, chamomile, cardamom and citrus or the bar’s rightly lauded highball Banana & Champagne with sweet potato shochu, rice shochu, banana and champagne.
