BAR
PEAK CAFE BAR
Mon-Fri, 9am-2am Sat, 9am-midnight Sun, happy hour 5-8pm; 13, 26, 40M)
This welcoming bar with great cocktails is decorated with the charming fixtures and fittings
of the old Peak Cafe, from 1947, which was replaced by the Peak Lookout. The cafe com-
prises two parts, both next to the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, with a courtyard linking the
two. Plant yourself by the window and watch the world go by.
CLUB
TAZMANIA BALLROOM
Lan Kwai Fong; 5pm-late, happy hour 5-8pm; Central, exit D2)
Skipped the gym? This sophisticated cavern whips out ping-pong tables every Tuesday,
Thursday and Sunday night. The dress code, however, is casual glam, not Chinese national
team. You can also shoot pool with bankers at a gold-plated table, join model types for
verbal back-and-forth on the balcony, or groove to jazzy house music on the sleek dance
floor.
WINE BAR
TASTINGS
Bldg, Lan Kwai Fong; 5pm-2am Mon-Sat; Central exit D2)
This bar on a side street off Wellington offers 40 wines from 'enomatic' wine dispensers
that pour by a few millilitres, a half-glass or a full glass. This allows you to taste rare vari-
etals without bankrupting yourself. You create a tab by handing over your credit card in ex-
change for a smart card that you use to operate the machines.
JUICE
KUNG LEE
26)
This institution in the heart of Soho has been quietly selling herbal teas and fresh sugarcane
juice since 1948 - their quality is unchanged, as are the charming vintage tiles, posters and
signage. There's 'turtle jelly', too, made with the powdered shell of a certain type of turtle
and a variety of Chinese herbs. It's good for cooling and detoxing.
