Hong Kong bar power couple's new cocktail joint mixes memories with minimalism
'I think it's every bartender's end goal to open their own bar,' says Birs Wong, a fashion designer turned bartender who co-founded Bar Mind in Hong Kong's Central neighbourhood. The new bar's minimalist concept is reflected in everything from its cocktails to interior design, which is rendered in concrete, stone and wave patterns – and does not have any bottles of spirits on display. Wong began her journey in the bar industry in 2019 after coming to the realisation that high fashion is not something a lot of people regularly engage with. 'I felt that fashion design and bartending are both about creativity, but the latter is a more widely appreciated art form,' she says. Some of the signature drinks in Bar Mind's first menu, many of which use locally sourced ingredients.
