While the Central and Soho nightlife district couldn’t be easier for bar and club hopping, there’s something to be said about staying in a single venue that you don’t even feel the need to leave because the experience stays fresh. Central’s newest bar addition Patina is designed as a multi-concept destination that combines three bar experiences into one space.
Named after the marks and patterns that develop on an object through age, use, and exposure, Patina is designed to reveal more layers the deeper you head into the space. The Iron area lies right behind their doors, all metallic surfaces and soft lights, serving a menu of 12 clarified cocktails and Japanese bites.
Head upstairs to find Copper, a warm, amber-lit space that promises music, mixology, and high-energy glamour that is probably where visitors will spend most of their night after a few drinks downstairs. Finally, Patina is hidden behind velvet curtains, accessible only for those who have completed the rounds in both previous spaces.
Among the teal and jade hues in intimate lighting, here you can kick back with bespoke tableside martinis – not commonly found in most Hong Kong bars – as well as a whisky collection that includes independent labels. Progress through Iron, Copper, and Patina in sequence to witness this bar evolving as the night ages for seamlessly differing experiences, all without ever having to step back out onto the streets.
Patina opens on October 23, and is located on 4 Arbuthnot Road, Central.
