LinQ Bar – Great drinks deals on Pottinger Street
This more casual spot on Pottinger Street is a popular stop to add to your gay bar crawl. The inclusive bar often has patrons spilling out onto the cobbled street, and we suspect it has something to do with its daily buy-one-get-one happy hour deal stretching from 5pm to 9pm.
LinQ Bar, 37 Pottinger Street, Central, Hong Kong, 6607 0884, www.facebook.com/LinQ-Bar
