Restaurant

Darkside

This bar is named for what some derogatorily call Kowloon, but it’s also for its focus on dark spirits. The impressive drinks list includes extensive whisky, cognac, rum and Port selections. There’s also an exclusive cognac made especially for Rosewood Hong Kong, as well as a barrel of Graham’s 1982, both of which nestle behind the chocolate bar, where a range of dark, sweet treats made in-house are served with the various spirits—or alongside cigars, which can be enjoyed on the bar’s outdoor terrace that overlooks the Hong Kong skyline. Here you have the view, but you’re out of earshot of the live jazz band, which takes the stage every evening beneath the turning hourglasses that decorate the ceiling of this atmospheric bar.
