Salon de Ning

Sophisticatedly ostentatious bar lounge on the Kowloon-side.

The décor: The interior design is inspired by the opulent private residences of 1930s Shanghai celebutante “Madame Ning.” There are four themed rooms: the L’Afrique, tent-like with back-lit lattice windows and a U-shaped Moroccan alcove; the Ski Room, a rustic Swiss Chalet complete with cozy fireplace; the Boudoir, the Madame’s own dressing room, with vintage hats on the ceiling. Stepping into them is like stepping into an old Shanghai movie scene.

The drinks: Signature drink "Ning Sling", a combination of Absolut Mandarin, lychee liqueur and passion fruit purée garnished with mint and lychee. Champagne-lovers, the bar carries an exclusive label created by Deutz of France.

The crowd: The stylish crowd who bothered to dress up. No T-shirts, shorts or flip-flops.

The music: Live band playing disco, 70s, 80s and 90s from 9pm till late on the weekdays. DJ on the weekend playing more tasteful tunes, such as jazz classics, bossa beats and ambient.
