Dead Poets

Hong Kong, China

By day, this striking bar on Aberdeen Street houses Sauce, a barbershop and coffee joint that encourages casual hang outs. Come nightfall, it stands next door to buzzy sister venue  The Old Man, with drinks paying homage to deceased painters such as Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo. The Campbell-tomato-soup-inspired highball, named for Andy Warhol, contains whiskey and clarified tomato. Dead Poet’s clinical aesthetic of polished chrome, bringing to mind an industrial kitchen, butcher’s shop or – some might say, a morgue – is punctuated by neon signage and atmospheric lighting. While you wouldn’t call it cosy, it’s just the place to come to sip on something creative and coolly contemplate your own morality, whether that’s with friends, a date, or simply on your own.
