Opened in the 1950s and still going strong. The name was a trick to attract US servicemen on leave during the Korean War. Excellent Peking duck.

Sit in a cubbyhole facing the window and sip a glass of bubbly as you watch the harbour light up.

A little worn around the edges, but still the best watering hole on trendy Knutsford Terrace. DJs play a range of sounds, there’s table football (“foosball”), surfboards and alcoholic slurpees.

Chilled vodka shots in a room at freezer temperatures. A fur coat is provided.

Overlooking the bay and a 10-minute stroll around the waterfront from Sai Kung Town. The Beach Pub has bands on the weekends and a regular crowd of local Chinese and expatriates.

This is Hong Kong where land is at a premium, so despite the name don’t expect a garden. Do expect an authentically German hearty friendliness, plenty of German beers on tap, and a German menu. Stays open until 2am.

Spanish wines by the glass or bottle serve as the perfect accompaniment to a tapas-cum-dim sum menu. Take a table on the street.

Fulfill your sad James Bond fantasies in the padded, crepuscular interior of this 1970s topless bar, which was used as a location inThe Man with the Golden Gun . It had more character under its legendary original owner and ex-Windmill Girl, Pat Sephton. Don’t despair: for kitsch factor alone, Bottoms Up will always be a worthy pit stop (see Bottom’s Up).

Horribly, horribly sad and tacky – it featured in James Bond’sThe Man With the Golden Gun . Worth a look, just for historical purposes, of course.

Cream of the crop of stylish bar-restaurants around Causeway Bay. The mixed crowd is watched over by pop-art portraits of Hitler, Mao and Mussolini.
