It’s no secret that Sai Kung offers the best retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Wide open spaces, nature constantly showing off and a tropical sleepiness that takes you off the island line and onto island time. While Sai Kung can be a tranquil staycation or out-to-sea departure point, it’s also host to some killer happy hour deals (because residents gotta party too). So whether you’re looking for a break from the city or are a local in the Kung, check out these awesome specials to add a little booze to your day.

Independently owned by Sai Kung locals, this stunning indoor-outdoor space invites you in with their impressive food & beverage menu, but it’s those views that will keep you just that little while longer. Plus it’s constantly changing its Happy Hour items to keep you coming back for more!
