Tucked away on the 4th floor of a discreet Wan Chai commercial building, Mizunara: The Library offers a peaceful, polished escape from Hong Kongâs bustle. Inspired by the elegance of Ginzaâs cocktail culture, the bar features warm timber panelling, leather seating, a solid wood bar imported from Japan, and a beautiful terrace styled like a Japanese gardenâwith furniture crafted from Mizunara whisky barrels. Led for years by acclaimed bartender Masahiko Endo, now guided by Massimo Petovello, Mizunara proudly houses over 600 (sometimes 700+) bottles spanning Japanese, Scottish, American, Taiwanese, and Indian whiskiesâplus shochu and awamori. Each drink is crafted with meticulous attention, from hand-chiseled ice spheres to signature cocktails like the Earl Grey Martini and Bond-inspired âCool Eyes.â For early-evening exploration, the Omakase tasting course is a standoutâpairing drinks with a narrative arc of flavors. After 9 PM, thereâs a minimum spend of HKD 400 (roughly two drinks) to ensure the experience remains elevated. Reservations are recommended, but not mandatory. Awarded and featured in top guidesâsuch as Asiaâs 50 Best Bars, Time Out Hong Kong, SCMP 100 Top Tables, and CondĂ© Nast TravelerâMizunara remains an oasis of elegance, where thoughtful design, exquisite whisky, and refined hospitality harmonize beautifully.
