This American bar and bistro beckons with open frontage, generous pourings and a casual
atmosphere. No surprise then that it's hugely popular with the bankers and hedgies who
work in the vicinity. On any given Friday evening, it's packed with people exchanging in-
dustry gossip over cocktails, wine or beer, or watching sports on one of the big TV screens.

meet lots of smartly dressed finance types from the corporate offices nearby. DJs playing
funk and jazz turn up the volume as the weekend approaches.

If you want to imbibe in quiet or to catch up with a chat, the swish MO Bar, attached to the
Mandarin's swanky outpost at the Landmark, offers peace, soft lighting and a first-rate
drinks list of wines and cocktails.
BAR
CAPTAIN'S BAR
ground fl, Mandarin Oriental, Central; 11am-2am Mon-Sat, to 1am Sun; ; Central, exit F)
Captain's Bar has been attracting drinkers with its clubby atmosphere and polished service
for half a century. Though looking slightly old-fashioned now, it still makes some of the best
martinis in town and serves ice-cold draught beer in chilled silver mugs. It's a good place to
talk business, at least until the cover band strikes up at 9pm.
