What To Expect
The tour generally visits three distinct, award-winning venues, each representing a different facet of the neighbourhood’s "after-dark" personality.
1. Handcrafted Cocktails: You will enjoy three expertly crafted cocktails (one at each venue). These are often Asian-inspired, utilizing unique ingredients that reflect the neighbourhood's roots, such as tea-infused spirits or exotic bitters.
2. Hidden Speakeasies: A major highlight is gaining exclusive access to two of Chinatown’s most secretive and atmospheric speakeasies that are easily missed by the average passerby.
3. Asian-Inspired Bites: This is more than just drinks. You will be served generous portions of chef-selected appetizers and small plates at each stop—some crafted by Michelin-rated chefs—designed to perfectly complement the cocktail program.
