Our Take

Hong Kong's Late-Night Whiskey Cocktail Bar

The Pontiac is Hong Kong's most theatrical late-night cocktail bar — a small (28-seat) basement bar with Beverly Hillbillies-aesthetic, neon signage, and classic American whiskey-driven cocktails. Late dance floor opens after 22:00.

The cocktail program is built on American classics with reasonable prices. Cash-friendly, walk-in only. The crowd is Hong Kong cocktail enthusiasts and visiting expats 25-50.

Pair with The Old Man earlier for a precise classical cocktail.
