Club 71: Best dive

Club 71 is tucked away in a sliver of an alley and guarded by a small army of stray cats. The unassuming little bar is a veritable institution in Hong Kong.

Like most memorable establishments, it is the people that make this no-frills bar uniquely charming. On any day of the week, prominent political activists, artists, writers, and the neighborhood’s elderly gather at the al fresco tables to unwind over a pint in the emerging dusk.

Grab yourself one of Club 71's wobbly plastic chairs amongst them and you will find it hard to resist striking up a conversation.
