Best sports bars in Hong Kong

18 June, 2020 by Juliet Keys 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/best-sports-bars-in-hong-kong-where-to-watch-rugby-soccer/

While there are plenty of options for watching sporting events on a screen these days, nothing beats the atmosphere of a sports bar for the big game. Happily, Hong Kong has its fair share of great spots where you can meet likeminded fans of rugby, football, motor racing, cricket and more. Throw on the team jersey, order a cold beer, and enjoy live broadcasts of some epic tournaments. Here’s our roundup of top Hong Kong sports bars. 

Rugby game

McSorley’s Ale House

McSorley’s is a truly fun destination – well-known for its menu, spacious interiors, and of course, its sports coverage. The Facebook page is regularly updated with screening info, plus menu specials and more.

G/F, 46 Staunton Street, Soho, Central, and Block B, G/F, D’Deck, Discovery Bay

Delaney’s

Opened in August 1994, Delaney’s was the first Irish pub in Hong Kong serving the city’s first draught Guinness. There are now a number of branches, including in TST, Wan Chai (formerly The Canny Man) and in The Arcade in Cyberport. What you see is what you get here – expect loud men shouting at screens and good old-fashioned Irish charm! Most major sporting events are shown along with British, European and American sports.

Basement, Mary Building, 71-77 Peking Road, TST

Champs Bar at Charterhouse Hotel Wan Chai

Champs is renowned as a go-to for watching sports, with different live broadcasts of popular events along with cable news. There’s plenty of space, 10 or more screens, and a huge selection of beers providing the perfect scene, whether you’re planning a visit for the rugby, soccer or more. Scousers will be especially happy here, as it’s a Liverpool FC supporters’ group bar.

 209-219 Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai

The Globe

The Globe boasts lots of space, lots of beer (including plenty of great craft options) and lots of cheering. It’s a top place to start if you want to continue the night in Central – and the sort of place you can go alone and end up with a new group of friends within an hour.

45-53 Graham Street, Central

Forbes 36

Forbes 36 promotes itself as a ‘premier’ sports bar and shows several live sporting events on its large TV screens, from Premier League matches to the Ashes. With a popular Western food menu and large selection of draught beers, this is one of K-Town’s best spots for sport-related fun.

G/F, 36 Forbes Street, Kennedy Town

White Stag

An old favourite in the heart of the city, White Stag has five screens showing sport of every variety. There are also popular quiz nights on Sundays and Mondays. You’ll know when something good is on, as the punters spill out onto the street when it’s busy.

54-62 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai

Trafalgar

Five floors up from the White Stag on Lockhart Road is Trafalgar. There’s a similar friendly feel here, with plenty of pub grub and British ale on the menu, and a keen interest in international sport. Premier League, AFL, rugby and cricket are regularly televised on eight inside screens and two projections screens in the outside balcony area.

5/F, 54-62 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai

The Blind Pig

This sports pub in Sai Wan Ho opened in April 2020, so it’s a relative newbie to the scene. It offers televised sports, craft beers and a pub grub menu you can enjoy in comfy leather seats. The Blind Pig opened during a time when sports viewing is not readily available but it’s great to have another option on the cards.

45 Tai Hong St (on the Lei King Wan waterfront), Sai Wan Ho

In the mood for a sweet treat? These chewy salted caramel and chocolate cookies are delicious with a cuppa or warmed and crumbled over ice cream.

This recipe makes about 25 cookies.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened (or as an alternative, substitute half of the butter with natural peanut butter)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour
6 tablespoons cocoa or cacao
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Mars Bar, chopped

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, then beat well.
4. Combine flour, cocoa (or cacao), baking soda and half of the salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture.  5.Stir in the chocolate chips and Mars Bar pieces.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture onto a lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Tip: do not over-bake! The cookies should be soft, they’ll puff up while baking and flatten while cooling.
8. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack.
9. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt flakes.
Enjoy!
