The decor and amenities at The Ale Project are proudly no-frills, and the bench-length high tables mean this is no place for a quiet conversation. But that’s because this lively Mong Kok spot is all about the beer. In addition to the 18 local and imported beers on tap (including a CBD-infused Hong Kong brew), there are enough IPAs, porters, sour or wild ales, ciders and more to justify many return visits. To keep you going, the menu consists of comfort-food classics with a Hong Kong twist—with many dishes available as a side or a main.

Tatler Tip

The Toasted Gai (sourdough French toast, kaya butter, crispy fried chicken, malted barley syrup) will help correct any alcohol-based over-indulgences.
