Soho Taproom

A typical board carries Breer, Lion Rock, Hong Kong Beer Co, Heroes, Black Kite, Yardley Brothers, H.K. Lovecraft and NEON Cider, with prices posted clearly on screens above the tap wall. It's the Soho outpost of the group behind Hong Kong Island Tap House in Tin Hau and Kowloon Taproom in Tsim Sha Tsui, and shares their local-only policy.

It's just off the Mid-Levels Escalator. Order the $140 four-glass flight of 5oz pours to range across the list and take a spot at the street-facing counter; there are snacks, but this is a drinking spot first.
