About Darkside‍

DarkSide is a cocktail parlour that offers rare aged spirits, vintage cigars and classic cocktails complemented by sultry live jazz. In addition to an extensive library of fine rum, whisky and calvados, its dark spirits selection harks back to the early 19th century and includes an exclusive blend of cognac created by the award-winning bar team. The cocktail list pays homage to Kowloon’s “dark side” moniker and focuses on time-honored traditions updated with innovative techniques.
