It’s a big weekend for Hong Kong: bartenders aren’t the only visitors in town. The Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament kicks off at its new home, Kai Tak Stadium, for the first time in its history. To celebrate, Honky Tonks are hosting an unofficial opening party, while visitors from Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur are popping up at Artifact and The Opposites to round out a weekend of revelry. Thursday, March 27 Honky Hootenanny Unofficial HK7s Opener What: Although the Sevens tournament is moving across the harbour from So Kon Po to Kai Tak, there’s no reason not to retain some of the celebrations on Hong Kong Island. To that end, Honky Tonks Tavern is hosting an unofficial opening party with food, drinks and music ahead of kick-off. Look forward to treats such as their Backyard Burgers, corn dogs, fried pickles and more. Where: Honky Tonks Tavern, Man Hing Lane, Central When: 5-11pm Friday, March 28 Golden Tooth x Artifact What: Artifact may have just hosted a ComplexCon after-party, but they show no sign of slowing down – this time celebrating their second anniversary by bringing in The Golden Tooth’s co-founder Kenny Soetomo. The “cocktail and chats” Jakartan bar comes to Hong Kong as part of a four-city tour through Hong Kong and China. Expect a high-energy evening supported by Jim Beam, Roku Gin and Campari. Where: LG/F, Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place, Central When: 8-11.30pm Saturday, March 29 Three X Co x The Opposites What: The Opposites closes out our weekend by hosting Amanda Wan and Jo Wong from Kuala Lumpur’s Three X Co for a night of signature sips. Three X Co was ranked 56th on last year’s Asia’s 50 Best Bars and are known for alliteratively naming their signatures, which in turn play with refreshing, at times local ingredients, such as cucumber for their Willful Walker or pandan for the Ayu Ayumi. Where: LG/F, Hilltop Plaza, 49 Hollywood Road, Central When: 8-11pm
