HONG KONG.
The Pawn.
By Sam Lennon
A beautiful heritage building that was once home to a pawn shop – now holds three levels of entertainment – a dining room, living room and a rooftop garden.

The interior is an eclectic mix of vintage furniture with a dash of contemporary detailing, namely the re-use of old timber as a vertical wall lining in a number of the rooms. There is a narrow sheltered outdoor terrace off the dining room and bar areas where you can sit on the comfy couches and have a few vinos whilst overlooking a classic scene of Hong Kong’s street life: neon lights, the passing trams and of course the skyscrapers. On certain nights there’s a jazz band that plays live music. A good place to start the night and another great spot for a few casual drinks.
