Quinary

Tucked along Hollywood Road in Central’s vibrant SoHo district, Quinary is the brainchild of Hong Kong cocktail maestro Antonio Lai, winner of Diageo World Class 2015 Hong Kong & Macau. Since its 2012 launch, the bar has firmly cemented its place among Asia's and the World's 50 Best Bars (currently #26 in Asia 2024). The concept revolves around “multisensory mixology.” Beneath sleek industrial-chic lighting lies a cocktail lab—complete with rotary evaporator, centrifuge and distiller—where classic cocktails are deconstructed, reimagined, and rebuilt to engage all five senses. Highlights include the Earl Grey Caviar Martini—vodka, Cointreau, elderflower syrup, topped with burst-in-your-mouth Earl Grey “caviar” and aromatic “air”—and the bold Ruby Rouge, infused with sous‑vide oysters, hibiscus, sesame vodka and pink peppercorn syrup. Interactions with bartenders are both thoughtful and personalized: they’ll ask about your preferences, craft a tailored drink, and walk you through the tasting experience. The interior is intimate—long glowing bar with leather stools, low seating and cozy tables under subdued lighting . Quinary operates from Monday to Saturday (17:00–01:00) and Sunday until midnight. Walk‑ins only—but it fills fast after 19:00, so arrive early. Drinks typically cost around HKD 140–150 (~USD 18). Expect a night of playful elegance, sensory exploration, and next-level creativity in cocktail form.
