Central, Hong Kong

Under the guidance of Tokyo cocktail legend Ueno Hidetsugu, this seventh-floor hideaway delivers Japanese precision without the airfare.

Tucked inside Central’s H Code, Bar De Luxe brings the philosophy of Bar High Five to Hong Kong through Ueno’s protégés—first his chief disciple Yuriko Naganuma, now homegrown talent Ivin Hui. The space itself is a study in considered calm: warm lighting, soothing music, comfortable sofas and bar tables that encourage lingering. Cocktails arrive with the quiet complexity that defines the Japanese style. The Evening Cool offers effortless refreshment, while signatures like Hokkaido and Yuzu’s Reply showcase seasonal ingredients handled with restraint. Service is intuitive with staff happy to guide without hovering, and free-flow snacks appear without asking, a small courtesy that makes the room feel genuinely welcoming.

Tatler Tip

Arrive early and claim a spot at the bar to watch Ivin’s team at work—the precision is its own performance. If the mood strikes, ask for something off-menu; describing what you crave yields drinks that feel personal, never prescribed.
