Old China Hand

It has been hailed as one of Asia's top bars. It might well have been where the famous fictional character Suzie Wong used to relax out of office hours. Receiving extensive coverage by the media, it has been consistently named one of Hong Kong's top 10 bars.

London writer, Ronald Atkin of the 'Observer' in his book, 'Great Bars of the World', mentioned the Old China Hand as one of only four Hong Kong Pubs eligible for the inclusion. Its largers are always perfectly chilled and if you love greasy food then this is the place for you.

The premises which are now occupied by the Old China Hand were the centre of operations for the renowned Lily Bar during the heady days of the United States forces almighty dollar. 'Lily', who inspired the bars name, is alleged to be the young (as she was then) lady whose restored portrait, found in the debris of the demolished interior in 1977, hangs on the side wall of the Old China Hand.

The entrance is also graced by two Chinese guards who protect the tavern from evil spirits.

Hours: 11a- 9p M- F.
