Take your pick of three drinking experiences across The Main Bar, Omakase Cocktail Bar and The Champagne and Sake Bar

What’s better than a new bar opening? How about three – and all in one location. The Aubrey has finally opened on the 25th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, replacing the former M Bar and Pierre, in the space which it shares with the newly renovated Man Wah restaurant.

The Aubrey is styled as “an eccentric Japanese izakaya” inspired by the vibe of informal Japanese bars in the trendy Ginza district, offering a drawing room, a curio lounge and three different bar experiences – The Main Bar, where highballs and Chuhai cocktails are served, along with rotating options created from a seasonal Japanese ingredient; Omakase Cocktail Bar, an intimate four-person experience in which bartenders take guests on an omakase-inspired tasting journey; and The Champagne and Sake Bar.
