Ping Pong 129 Gintonería
If you’re wandering near Sai Ying Pun, look for a bright red door. Descend a set of concrete steps and you’ll enter Ping Pong 129 Gintonería, a bar that perfectly blends nostalgia, art and serious gin enthusiasm. Once a ping-pong court/store, its raw bones—high ceilings, exposed concrete, vintage tiles—meet sleek, Spanish flair. The focus here is gin & tonic—lots of varieties from Spain and beyond, thoughtfully paired with tonics and garnishes to highlight the spirit. But it’s not just about drinks; the food menu features tapas-style bites—think padrón peppers, patatas bravas, cheese & cured meats—that pull you into a slow, social kind of evening. Art and music bleed into the space too. Local artists exhibit work; there are often live jazz or experimental sets; creative evenings that feel more like salons than nights out. Lighting is moody, design is Instagram-worthy (neon sign, ambient shadows, rustic meets modern), and the crowd tends to be a mix of gin lovers, creatives, and those who appreciate a bit of character in their cocktail hour. It opens in the early evening (around 5-6pm) and stays going late (midnight, later on Fridays/Saturdays). Because of its size, vibe and the “hidden door” entrance, it works great for dates, casual gatherings, art/philosophy conversation, or enjoying drinks in a place with style and personality.
