Pooja Sadhwani
After a long and tiring day at work, what could be better than to relax with some of your friends (or co-workers) with some drinks? From classic cocktails to fancy and unique concoctions, Hong Kong offers some of the best Happy Hour deals you could get. Here are some of our favorite (and cheap) options that we know and love.
CÉ LA VI
CÉ LA VI, Hong Kong’s renowned rooftop bar, overlooks the Central horizon on top of California Tower and offers the most delicious drinks. The Sundowners Happy Hour runs every single day from 3pm to 9pm, where you can choose from their two-for-one cocktails, drinks, wines and beers on their Skydeck. (Tip for ladies: head there on a Thursday night for free champagne and canapes!).

Scarlett Café & Wine Bar
For an option on Kowloon side, head over to Scarlett Café & Wine Bar in Tsim Sha Tsui. Like CÉ LA VI, they offer a combination of canapes with your drink of choice. Instead of only being available on Thursday’s for ladies, Scarlett Café & Wine Bar offers this deal every single night, for everyone that walks through their door! With tapas options such as Milano Ham, Garlic Shrimp, and Black Olive Tapenade, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this deal.

Located in the heart of Central in the LKF hotel building, Lily and Bloom is not only a convenient option but also is one that offers an amazing deal- one that you cannot find anywhere else.

Cicada
Out of all the restaurants in the Soho area, Cicada has to be the winner in terms of the most affordable Happy Hours. With drinks either being 30 or 35 HKD each, it would be a crime not to go and splurge a little! Choose from the classic Mango Mojitos, Cosmopolitans, Lychee Martinis and even their finest Prosecco for a great evening.
