Argo

Hong Kong

Past and future collide in gleaming harmony

Led by the unstoppable beverage manager Jonathan Gabbay, this groundbreaking bar is named after Argo – the ship that sailed Jason and the Argonauts to the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology. The space draws on inspiration from Gilded Age botanical conservatories, complete with a dazzlingly bright cylindrical back bar and panoramic views of Victoria Harbour.

Argo's cocktail programme takes the form of a journey through inventive flavours and high-level craftmanship. The current Exploration menu features drinks based on local flavours – a cognac, milk tea, coffee and egg tart punch or vodka, tomato and hot pot spice-laden drink – as well as modern classic pours such as a picante, clover club and espresso martini.

From the Seasonal Journeys section of the menu, expect six unique cocktails crafted from local ingredients deeply connected to Hong Kong. Depending on the time of year, quench-seekers might find a Rooty Slushy made with rum, amaro, truffle honey, raspberry sorbet and root water, or a delightfully sharp Pickled G&T made with gin, shochu, riesling and pickled vegetable tonic water.
