On the way out to our relaxing trip to Bali, we made a stop in Hong Kong to explore, eat and drink. Everything was incredible and per the suggestion of our friend, we made a special stop at Dr. Fern’s Gin Parlour, an exciting, stylish bar tucked away in the basement of The Landmark. The concept for the bar is that it belongs to Dr. Fern who is a botanist that prescribes gin cocktails for “stress-related ailments.” From the white coats worn by the staff, to the host asking if you have an appointment upon arrival, the theme was executed quite nicely.
 
Madison – I ordered one of the gimlets that night. In flavor, it was similar to a Moscow Mule. The drink was good, but my favorite part of the bar was the ambiance. We realized there are a lot of trendy bars in Hong Kong. The cocktail scene really seems to be taking off there. Dr. Fern’s seemed to be a particularly popular as it was crowded the night we were there.
 
Maya – I ordered one of the special gin & tonics that was supposed to be made with Sabatini Gin. Unfortunately, they were out, but they recommended a substitute and it was delicious. It was garnished with olive, cardamom, and thyme. I also loved the ambiance and details that were carried throughout the space to give the feel of a doctor’s office. For example, the Patient Waiting Room was off to the side for if you had a reservation and your table wasn’t ready (we ended up waiting there). The menu has a “personal prescription” section, the bill came in an old pill box, and the servers wore white doctors’ coats. The details were wonderful.
 
If you find yourself in Hong Kong, we highly recommend stopping in at Dr. Fern’s.
