World’s 50 Best Bars 2020: Coa Makes a Meteoric Climb to Become Hong Kong’s Top Bar
The World's 50 Best Bars 2020 list was unveiled last night via a virtual ceremony livestreamed from London.
Two Hong Kong bars were included in the prestigious annual ranking, with Mexican-inspired cocktail bar Coa cracking the top 10 to place eighth. This marked an impressive 41-spot rise from its rank of 49 in 2019, and scored Coa the Nikka Highest Climber Award.
The watering hole is located in Central and known for its extensive repertoire of agave spirits and cocktails. Its latest achievement adds yet another feather to its cap — earlier this year, its founder Jay Khan was named the Altos Bartenders’ Bartender 2020 at the Asia's 50 Best Bars event, where it placed third.

Bar Hop and Support the F&B Industry at the Inaugural Hong Kong Cocktail Weeks
From bar closures to bans on dining in restaurants at night, 2020 has been a rough year for the food and beverage industry.
Strict restrictions in line with Covid-19 health protocols and social distancing measures have forced many eateries to rethink their business models and pivot to focusing on deliveries and takeaway orders. It was only in mid-September when bars were finally allowed to reopen, and the 6PM curfew on restaurant dining was lifted.
As of October 30, F&B venues are allowed to operate until 2AM, and the number of diners per group has been increased from four to six for restaurants, and from two to four for bars. But the damage has already been done, and these establishments are now scrambling to recoup losses accumulated over the past months.
[gallery ids="211912,211908,211917"]
To support the battered F&B industry, some 30 restaurants and bars have banded together to launch the inaugural Hong Kong Cocktail Weeks, which takes place from 9 November to 10 December 2020. The event will feature specially crafted bespoke cocktails at its participating venues, with its first week focusing on tipples inspired by Johnnie Walker. Other spirit brands such as Copper Dog, Tanqueray, Hennessy V.S.O.P, Belvedere and Patrón will take the spotlight over the course of the month.
[gallery ids="211915,211911,211914,211910"]
Guests can purchase tickets priced at HK$ 298 or HK$ 458, which will allow them to redeem three or five cocktails respectively across the different venues. Participating establishments include whisky den Whisky & Words, Spanish eatery Rubia, cafe-bar Doubleshot by Cupping Room, Mexican joint 11 Westside, cocktail bar The Poet, tea-inspired cocktail spot Tell Camellia, and newly opened Japanese restaurant Kakure.
More details about the Hong Kong Cocktail Weeks can be found here.
