The Shady Acres (Hong Kong)
Shady Acres is quite possibly the ultimate bar of 2019. With an incredible and accessible collection of affordable wines by the glass, bottle and available to take away, Shadys proves that wine and cocktails are of equal importance. And they haven’t forgotten about the food either – their modest menu of hearty bites boasts an Impossible burger that has even the most diehard carnivores fooled, and the bar’s regular breakeven bottle allows guests to sample wines and spirits they otherwise may not have access to or are just unaffordable by the bottle.
Top that off with a faultless team who are always banterous – regardless of how deep in the weeds they are, which is more often than not – cosy decor, and too-many-to-list little quirks that are so Shady it hurts, it’s hard to find another bar that ticks every box, no matter how big or small.
