Skyline Views & Speakeasies: The Best Bars in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay to Unwind
Why Causeway Bay and Wan Chai Are Ideal for After-Work Drinks
After a demanding week of corporate meetings or an intensive day navigating Hong Kong’s fast-paced business landscape, winding down with a meticulously crafted cocktail is an essential ritual. For expatriates and business professionals staying at The V Group’s serviced apartments in Causeway Bay, you don’t have to travel far to find world-class mixology.
Whether you are looking to network with colleagues over panoramic harbour views or escape to an intimate, hidden lounge for a quiet nightcap, Causeway Bay’s bar scene offers an exceptional variety of sophisticated options. Best of all, because our luxury properties on Yee Wo Street and Tung Lo Wan Road sit at the nexus of the district, you can skip the late-night taxi lines entirely when the evening winds down.
Here are the most acclaimed bars to clear your mind and unwind, all just minutes from your front door.

3. The Hidden Speakeasies of Tang Lung Street and Jaffe Road
If you prefer discretion and quiet conversation over high-octane lounges, Causeway Bay hides an impressive network of intimate, Japanese-style cocktail dens and speakeasies. Tucked away on upper floors of unassuming commercial buildings on Tang Lung Street and Jaffe Road, these bars prioritise absolute privacy, low lighting, and elite bartending artistry. Here, master mixologists treat cocktail creation like a fine art, often tailoring drinks entirely to your mood and flavour preferences.
Living Like a Local: Navigating the Nightlife
1. Beat the MTR Curfew Effortlessly
Hong Kong’s MTR train network is incredibly efficient but typically ceases operations around 1:00 AM. While other partygoers face chaotic queues for midnight taxis or minibuses to get back to Mid-Levels or Kowloon, living at V Causeway Bay means your commute home is a safe, breezy five-to-ten-minute walk under the city lights.
2. The Smart Casual Dress Code
While Hong Kong is welcoming and modern, upscale rooftop bars and premium speakeasies strictly enforce a smart-casual dress code in the evenings. Avoid sportswear, flip-flops, or open-toed shoes for men to ensure seamless entry to the district's top-tier establishments.
Why Stay Close to Hong Kong’s Bar Scene?
Living at The V WANCHAI, V CAUSEWAY BAY and V CAUSEWAY BAY 2 gives you the ultimate metropolitan luxury: being steps away from the absolute pinnacle of Hong Kong's nightlife, while maintaining a peaceful, secure, and beautifully appointed residential sanctuary to retreat to the moment you are ready to log off.
For guests searching for a Causeway Bay serviced apartment, Wanchai serviced apartment, serviced apartment hk, or luxury serviced apartment in the heart of Hong Kong Island, this balance is the real advantage. You can enjoy the energy of the city without sacrificing privacy, comfort, or the feeling of coming home.
