The Sea (Hong Kong)
The Old Man’s long rumoured sister venue The Sea opened its doors in spring to complete the homage to the 1952 Ernest Hemingway novel The Old Man and The Sea. Tucked into a residential nook and slightly larger in terms of capacity and space, decor-wise The Sea flows from the same vein as The Old Man, but with oceanic hues and a semi-circle bar which faces a large communal table. Drinks here use similar techniques and equipment to those at The Old Man – rotovaps, centrifuges and the like – but are a little more straightforward and approachable, simply named by numbers one to ten.
