Level 1 at 388 Pitt Street channels retro Hong Kong nightlife through dim neon, vintage film posters, and a dedicated bar zone distinct from the dining room. Groups lean into sharing multi-course banquet menus stacked with XO crab noodles, steamed scallops, and wok-seared wagyu flank. At the bar counter, theatrical cocktails set the pace—poured from smoking dry-ice teapots or topped with citrus-scented vapor bubbles. Dinner rolls straight into the late evening with house DJs spinning over plates of duck pancakes and slices of jasmine tiramisu.
