New York glam meets Macanese soul

It's all class at The St. Regis Bar, with its distinctive turn-of-the-century sumptuousness mixed with Macanese twists – think low lighting, plush furnishings, lashings of burnished gold and marble alongside a verdant mural of Macau adorning the back bar. Behind the bar and its tightly curated menu is mixologist and Tapei-native Kevin Lai, who joined its team in November 2022 after stints at Hope & Sesame in Guangzhou, Cattail in Beijing and Taipei's Bar Mood.

Here, drinks and details hark back to the heyday and glamour of New York, a hat tip to the hotel chain's founding in the Big Apple. Drinks are referential and reverent, like the Modern Art, which is inspired by the city's iconic MOMA, while the Garnet Sour is a twist on the New York Sour.

Anyone from first-timers to regulars gravitate towards one thing here however: the St. Regis signature Bloody Mary. Each hotel has its own take on the savoury sip, and the Macau version – the Maria Do Leste – encapsulates the essence of the former Portuguese colony with its mix of chorizo, pink peppercorn, piri piri, black Chinese vinegar and, of course, the mini egg tart served on the side.
