Tucked inside the Rosewood Hong Kong at Victoria Dockside, DarkSide celebrates Kowloonâs moody vibe with a rich blend of dark spirits, vintage cigars, artisanal cocktails, and nightly live jazz. The bar is named after Kowloonâs âdark sideâ moniker and pays homage to the areaâs heritage through its aesthetic and menu. Design-wise, DarkSide embraces decadence: tall ceilings adorned with rotating Murano-glass globes, velvet seating, and sleek Deco accents create a luxurious yet intimate ambience. With a coveted view over Victoria Harbour, the space is enhanced by thoughtful art pieces and world-class mixology. The beverage program features a deep selection of rums, whiskies, calvados, and an exclusive Grande Champagne cognac aged in oak sourced from their own cask. The cocktail menu balances classic execution with contemporary flairâhighlighting the barâs identityâwhile special limited-edition cocktails (e.g., âThe Art of Mahjongâ) celebrate local culture. DarkSide has earned top accolades, being listed among âAsiaâs 50 Best Barsâ for several years (ranked No.17 in 2024), and winning âBest Hotel Barâ and âBest Bar of the Yearâ by Time Out Hong Kong in 2021. Itâs a smartâcasual, adultsâonly experience designed for those seeking refinement, with nightly jazz performances that start from 8 pm and run well into the evening . Reservation is recommended; groups of four or more can secure tables, including al fresco terrace seating.
