Mini Club

I came across this bar on a whim while exploring the Jordan area of Hong Kong. [I was in need of a new outfit after I had destroyed my white jeans] With a handful of good reviews Mini Club definitely seemed like a good enough idea to start off my night of HK shenanigans.
The bar is a little off the beaten path hidden away in a small alleyway but still only 6 minutes of walking. Coming in I immediately noticed how intimate and local this bar was. In contrast to many of my expat adventures in Central and LKF, this was definitely a nice change of pace. I seated myself at the bar and was handed the Ipad menu. There are about 5 or 6 pages of choices as you stumble through the menu and I finally settled for a cocktail named «Nothing». WIN. I now am finding this is an absolute unapologetic chick drink from HK, and something I will be bringing back States side in April. Midori, Malibu, Tripple Sec, Vodka and Pineapple juice. This legitimately has my name all over it. Moving on.
Other things to mention: The bar is dimly lit and have live fish floating around a bowl as decoration, very cute and because of the lighting each of the staff has a light up name tag. Very Max Headroom. I personally snacked on the complimentary cheesy bits however the patrons around me were having snacks. I am disappointed I did not look at the menu. The place offers resounds itself as a Wine Bar lining the top of the room with bottles of every type they serve and have served [reminds me of my dorm room in college — just classy]. Naturally if you cannot find the wine you were in the mood for you are more than welcome to bring your own for a modest corking fee.
All in all this place is a gem and definitely worth bringing a friend to next time.
Word of advice: Try to stick to the drinks on a iPad menu. After my nothing I switched to my standard vodka soda water. Or so I hoped. What I received were actually 2 glasses: One with vodka, and one with soda water. I LOLed very loudly.

I’m an «Island person». What it means is I live and work and party on the HK Island side. Knutsford Terrace and Elements were my only go-​to drinking spots in Kowloon, but it’s good to know about Mini Club.
It’s a rainy Friday night. Hillwood Road was not packed with bars, and so most of the shops next door were closed. It made this place more prominent, as it was almost full.
I was expecting something very different than Mini Club was, as it was, after all, the «dark-​side» of HK. But apparently it was pretty decent — nice quiet crowd, everyone’s pretty chilled, seats were reasonably spaced. I particularly liked how they made high tables next to the windows. I thought the bars on HK Island side were less imaginative.
Staff were attentive and the drinks were reasonably priced. Nuts would be refilled when you finished eating them, but mind you they might keep charging you.
Otherwise nothing fancy over there. No shisha, no dices, no live music. Would be a tough sell in LKF/​Soho, but it fits just well in TST.
