Cheers to these drink specials in the 852!
It’s been a little chilly lately, so we’re wrapping ourselves up in warm blankets, drinking red wine we ordered from Wine Moments and binging on our favourite Netflix shows. But when we’re in the mood for an after-work tipple, we walk up to Oolaa for its $25 happy hour beers, or head over to COA, where we enjoy its special M&T (that’s Mescal and Tonic!).
We are looking forward to balmier temperatures, too, because then we will be hanging out at Club Albergue 1601’s outdoor terrace, and enjoying the hip vibe and great drinks. Here’s what else we’re loving this month…

New Openings:
Strokes
Calling itself Hong Kong’s ‘first and only premium crazy golf and lifestyle club,’ Strokes is having a party to celebrate! On 19 January from 7pm to 9pm, get free flow drinks, be entered to win in its lucky draw, try a hole-in-one challenge, win prizes over $15,000 and so much more – and it’s free to attend! Register here to get your spot at this amazing event.
But, if you miss the party, its happy hour deal is pretty cool as well – spend $160 on food, drinks or crazy golf (excluding service charge) per person, and get one free golf session on the same day within the happy hour (5:30pm to 8:30pm every day, including weekends and public holidays).

Knutsford Terrace has just gotten more happening with the latest addition of Gulu-Gulu, which opened on 11 January. Aimed at getting every partier’s attention, it’s all flights of lights, sound, flash and booze! Get ready to be challenged with local drinking games such as ‘chai-mui’, beer-pong and pool. And if you’re headed here in the wee hours of the morning, you’ll be happy about its menu, which includes a Wagyu set ($299), Fried Food Set ($199), and Chicken Set ($299) along with other Japanese Yakitori specialties.

Oolaa
When she saw the $25 Heineken’s on the happy hour special, one of our Sassy girls quipped, “It’s cheaper than 7-11!” That ain’t a bad deal, and neither are the other drinks on offer. Friday nights from 5:30pm to 8:30pm it’s Bubbles and Beats, a champagne happy hour with the first drink free!
