Hong Kong boasts some of the world's most photogenic nightlife venues, where whimsical decor, innovative cocktails, and breathtaking views create endless Instagram opportunities. Highlights include the enchanting Iron Fairies with its 10,000 fluttering butterflies, the elegant Japanese-inspired Bar De Luxe, and Ozone – the highest rooftop bar on the planet. Other gems feature Art Nouveau dragonflies, conservatory-style harbour vistas, street-view windows, and temple-like craft beer spots. These bars not only serve exceptional drinks but also transport you to magical worlds perfect for your feed.

1. Iron Fairies

Step into a whimsical underground world at Iron Fairies, the third outpost of Ashley Sutton's magical concept (after Bangkok and Tokyo). Inspired by the designer's time in Australian iron ore mines, the bar features ironsmith workshop furnishings, walls of fairy dust vials, and the jaw-dropping centerpiece: 10,000 preserved butterflies suspended from the ceiling like a dreamy canopy. Pair your photos with signature cocktails and live blues or reggae performances for an enchanting night out.

2. Bar De Luxe

Craving Ginza elegance in Hong Kong? Bar De Luxe, brought by legendary Tokyo bartender Hidetsugu Ueno (of Bar High Five fame), delivers Japanese precision mixology in a sleek space. The interior blends contemporary design with traditional elements like wooden sliding doors, royal blue-green tiles, and a dramatic paper umbrella skeleton on the ceiling. Snap perfectly stirred cocktails against this sophisticated backdrop – it's an Instagram sensation for cocktail enthusiasts.

3. Doubleshot by Cupping Room

This all-day cafe-cocktail hybrid from specialty coffee roasters Cupping Room shines with its minimalist modern interior and prime Hollywood Road location. The real star? Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking vibrant street graffiti and bustling life below – ideal for natural-light flat lays of coffee, cocktails, or selfies with the urban backdrop flooding in.

4. Dragonfly

Another Ashley Sutton masterpiece at Tai Kwun, Dragonfly is an opulent Art Nouveau lounge inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany and René Lalique. Emerald greens, turquoise dragonfly lamps, cast-iron statuettes, and a bronze 'Dragonfly-woman' sculpture create a fairy-tale ambiance. Enjoy craft cocktails and bites in this jewel-box setting – every corner is designed for stunning photos.

5. Argo

At Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, Argo mimics a light-filled conservatory with terrariums, mirrors, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Victoria Harbour. Ranked among Asia's best bars, it pioneers innovative spirits (like AI-created gin) and sustainable cocktails. The harbour views and elegant design make it a must for sophisticated, sunlit (or sunset) shots.

6. Ozone

Claiming the title of the world's highest rooftop bar on the 118th floor of Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, Ozone offers unbeatable 360-degree views of the glittering skyline and Victoria Harbour. Futuristic interiors give way to an open terrace – perfect for sunset cocktails inspired by nature's five elements. The vertigo-inducing heights guarantee epic, envy-worthy photos.

7. Moonkok by Moonzen

Local craft brewery Moonzen's Mong Kok taproom channels traditional Chinese temples and teahouses with vermillion columns, emerald accents, and nostalgic vibes. Sip fresh beers on tap (including guest brews) amid this cultural homage – a rare, authentic spot for photos that capture old Hong Kong charm in a bustling neighbourhood.
