Is it a cocktail lounge? Sports bar? Café? Well, technically this ambitious Hong Kong import can be all three depending on the time and mood of day. When the sun’s shining, the front deck is a decent place to chill over a coffee. Come nightfall, the first floor turns into a swanky sipping lair that serves up very visually appealing drinks, while upstairs you’ll encounter something entirely different – a sports-centric space dominated by TVs, pool and a beer pong table.
