The Stage at Sophia Loren Hong Kong
This glamorous cocktail lounge and live entertainment venue has recently opened its doors the chic, and brand-new Sophia Loren Hong Kong restaurant in Wan Chai’s historic Woo Cheong Pawn Shop. It’s all about blending sophistication with a dash of retro nostalgia. Imagine sipping on expertly crafted cocktails while soaking in live jazz, dancing the night away to 1970s beats, or laughing through a stand-up comedy show.
Don’t miss the expansive outdoor terrace that offers a front-row seat to the vibrant neighborhood below.
Signature cocktails here are sure to live up the spirit. Highlights include the Unforgettable, a soothing mix of Tanqueray gin with chamomile, honey, and lemon, and the Summertime, a refreshing blend of Ketel One and Aperol with tropical fruit notes. For a bolder choice, try the Milestones, a complex concoction of Bulliet Bourbon and Laphroaig.
The Stage isn’t just about drinks, though. It’s a full-blown entertainment hub with a separate theatrical hideaway for live performances. Enjoy live jazz on Wednesdays and Thursdays, dance floors with DJs on weekends, stand-up comedy brunches, and fabulous drag queen cabarets. For those seeking exclusivity, the secret “Blue Room” bar offers a VIP experience like no other.
