Our Take
Asia's Most Serious Mezcal Bar
COA has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars top 5 for years. Jay Khan runs the bar and the agave-spirit programme is the deepest in Asia. The back bar holds over 200 mezcals from across Mexico — including small artisanal producers and rare wild-agave bottlings.
The cocktail programme is built around mezcal and tequila. The Margarita is benchmark. The Oaxacan Old Fashioned uses aged mezcal and demerara. The mezcal flights are organised by region or agave type and the bartenders are encyclopedic.
The crowd is mid-thirties Hong Kong cocktail enthusiasts and visiting agave nerds. Pair with The Old Man for a complete Hong Kong world-top-5 cocktail evening.
