Bar De Luxe

BAR DE LUXE, located on the historic Pottinger Street in Central Hong Kong, is a haven for cocktail connoisseurs, bringing the finest elements of Japanese bartending to one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Helmed by the legendary mixologist Hidetsugu Ueno, founder of the acclaimed Bar High Five in Tokyo, BAR DE LUXE offers an authentic Ginza-style cocktail experience that is both refined and innovative. As one of the few bars in Hong Kong dedicated to the art of Japanese bartending, BAR DE LUXE takes pride in delivering the precision, elegance, and attention to detail that Ueno-san is famous for. Every cocktail is a masterpiece, crafted with the highest standards and meticulous care, embodying the true spirit of Japanese mixology. Since its opening, BAR DE LUXE has been mentored by Ueno-san himself, a name synonymous with excellence in the cocktail world. His Tokyo-based Bar High Five has been a fixture on the World’s 50 Best Bars list for over a decade, and it was the first Asian bar to place in the top three. Under Ueno’s guidance, BAR DE LUXE continues to elevate the cocktail scene, now with his protégé Ivin Hui as the head bartender. Hui, a Hong Kong native who trained under Ueno’s watchful eye in Japan, brings his own flair and creativity to the bar, ensuring that every drink is crafted to perfection. This partnership between BAR DE LUXE and Bar High Five marks the first collaboration of its kind outside Japan, solidifying the bar’s status as a global destination for cocktail lovers. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a casual enthusiast, BAR DE LUXE promises a cocktail experience like no other, steeped in tradition, artistry, and the legacy of one of the world’s most renowned bartenders.
