Tucked inside the Rosewood Hong Kong at Victoria Dockside, DarkSide celebrates Kowloon’s moody vibe with a rich blend of dark spirits, vintage cigars, artisanal cocktails, and nightly live jazz. The bar is named after Kowloon’s “dark side” moniker and pays homage to the area’s 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 flair—highlighting the bar’s identity—while special limited-edition cocktails (e.g., “The Art of Mahjong”) celebrate local culture. DarkSide has earned top accolades, being listed among “Asia’s 50 Best Bars” for several years (ranked No.17 in 2024), and winning “Best Hotel Bar” and “Best Bar of the Year” by Time Out Hong Kong in 2021. It’s a smart‑casual, adults‑only 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.
