There are many shisha bars in Hong Kong, just as there are many gin parlors. However, the newly-opened HYC Bar and Lounge, has made the bold move to combine the two palliative pastimes in the stylish upscale atmosphere perched atop of the 22nd floor of Nathan Hill complex in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Within seconds of entering HYC Bar and Lounge, shisha supporters and gluggers of gin will be immersed in an inviting chic environment and doted on by its warm and knowledgable staff. The atmosphere of both the inside the bar and its rooftop lounge are near-perfect for an intimate romantic date or just a night out with friends to celebrate the end of the work week. Guests can gaze across the panoramic vistas of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island while enjoying this all-new nightlife hotspot’s many tantalising treats.
Any skeptic of shisha will surely have their ears perked as they hear about HYC’s commitment to providing Hong Kong with not only the most luxurious hookah on the market, but also the healthiest too.
Indeed, HYC has partnered with only the very best in shisha developers – American company Kaloud and Canadian company Shishabucks. Taking a more modern and healthy approach to the pastime, both Kaloud and Shishabucks have created technology that includes Heat Management Devices (HMD) for a cleaner experience. These devices work to remove the need for tinfoil (a noted health threat) while optimising flavours and increasing the quality of the smoke, providing guests with a smoother and more beneficial affair.
In addition to its assortment of health-conscious machines, Shishabucks and Kaloud also offer some of the most unique flavours on the hookah market, including white gummy bear, Hong Kong milk tea, and mint chocolate.
In addition to its allure as one of Hong Kong’s most luxurious and healthiest shisha venue, HYC Bar and Lounge is also home to an outstanding array of gin cocktails that pair perfectly with the light and smooth hookahs on the menu. The butterfly flower infused gin and yuzu tonic, for instance, is sure to be an instant classic. Among the cocktails to be admired is also the OKKURRR, which features the slightest hint of sweet passionfruit to balance the dryness of the Citadelle gin.
For guests who wish to create their own cocktail, HYC also offers a mix-and-match option with the added bonus of selecting a smokey sensory experience; our favourite being the Oak.
During the month of February, HYC will be serving an array of delicious promotional concoctions, including Hendricks gin + grapefruit tonic with dry rose smoke, and cucumber chill + Japanese Yuzu with fruitbase from 8-14 February.
