Spanning various categories including Bar of the Year, Bartender of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, the list represents some of the best hospitality and entertainment venues that Hong Kong has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is indeed an interesting time to host an awards spotlighting Hong Kong nightlife when bars are being locked down. This means our judging was based on previous visits to bars when they were free to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of the hiccups, we are proud to unveil our Editors&#8217; Pick winners for our inaugural Hong Kong Living Bar Awards \u2013 places that we look forward to return to once we are allowed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/hong-kong-living-bar-awards-2020-readers-choice\/\">Hong Kong Living Bar Awards Readers&#8217; Choice winners<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bar of the Year: The Diplomat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/The-Diplomat.jpg\" alt=\"The Diplomat\" class=\"wp-image-24459\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the most highly-anticipated bars to open in 2020, The Diplomat is tucked away at lifestyle and dining hub H Code. Known for reinventing the classics with its innovative twist on classic cocktails, this is the first concept by award-winning mixologist John Nugent, who led the drinks programme at Lily &amp; Bloom. The Diplomat strikes the perfect balance as an industry favourite tipple bar and for cocktail aficionados alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thediplomat.hk\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Diplomat (opens in a new tab)\">The Diplomat<\/a>, Shop 1, LG\/F, H Code, 45 Pottinger Street, Central, 3619 0302<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bartender of the Year: Lorenzo Antinori<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Loronzo-Antinori.jpg\" alt=\"Lorenzo Antinori\" class=\"wp-image-24444\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/lorenzo-antinori-caprice-four-seasons-hotel-hong-kong\/\">Antinori<\/a> is the beverage manager at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong and beverage ambassador for the hotel brand\u2019s Asia Pacific operation.

From old-school classics to cutting-edge mixology, the bar is a stylish and discreet gathering spot. Our pick for the Best Hotel Bar comes just in time for the release of its new seasonal cocktail menu \u2013 a celebration of  ingredients from across the globe with the likes of rhubarb, grapefruit soda and fig leaf-flavoured cocktails. These tasty delights sit alongside the year-round beverage programme, featuring the Caprice martini and truffle negroni. Backed by an extensive wine list served alongside artisanal French cheese, we raise a very delicious goblet to this Hong Kong classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hongkong\/dining\/lounges\/caprice_bar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Caprice Bar<\/a>, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, 8 Finance Street, Central, 3196 8882<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcomer of the Year: Club Rangoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Club-Rangoon03.jpg\" alt=\"Club Rangoon\" class=\"wp-image-24460\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/nelson-htoo-club-rangoon\/\">Club Rangoon<\/a> is the debut launch for owner Nelson Htoo.

If you are looking for a refreshing change of scenery from your usual watering holes on the island, this hotel rooftop bar is a par above the rest. With a spacious terrace, dedicated performing space and music room to match,&nbsp;Terrible Baby lives up to its quirky name translated from the French phrase \u2018enfant terrible\u2019 \u2013 an expression used in the world of creative arts to describe a young and successful person who is strikingly unorthodox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.terriblebaby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Terrible Baby (opens in a new tab)\">Terrible Baby<\/a>, 4\/F, Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Road, Jordan, 2710 1866<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Interior Design: Madame Fu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madame-Fu.jpg\" alt=\"Madame Fu\" class=\"wp-image-24471\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in heritage-arts compound Tai Kwun, Madame Fu offers a charming crossover between east and west lounge experience.
