Jordan 佐敦. A part of Hong Kong teeming with life, cultural diversity and probably enough bars to keep you hooked for days, is a place for curious travellers to experience the genuine life of the city’s blue-collar workers and a haven for those looking to get properly sloshed. Down for a tipple on the Kowloon end? Start with these 5 bars and work your way up. We’ve rounded cool, convivial cocktail joints, a swanky rooftop bar and even an underground wine bar that doubles up as an art gallery.
