Mrs Pound

Hong Kong


When Mrs Pound first opened, it was a stamp shop. Now it's masquerading as a traditional locksmiths; tap a lock near the door and it swings open to reveal a playful dive-y diner serving up Asian fusion street food such as sriracha-drizzled corn and beef-rendang poutine. Happy hour (5pm to 8pm) includes 50% off many cocktails and nibbles. No reservations.

Later on in the evening it becomes a fun bar.
