You also get to choose from the playful drinks list, featuring items like the “panty dropper” and the “pole dancer.” For more details, check out www.striphousehongkong.com.

AMMO at Asia Society Hong Kong Centre, Admiralty, HK – If you’re into historical places, then you surely are getting the familiar chills when you visit AMMO located at 9 Justice Drive, Admiralty. Built in the 19th century, AMMO is a former explosive magazine compound that was converted into a restaurant. While its history practically explains the name AMMO (a slang term for ammunition), the name also stands for Asia, Modern, Museum and Original. The restaurant’s interior by designer Joyce Wang features heavy use of copper to preserve the original feel of the building, locked and loaded by a modern Asian- and Mediterranean-inspired menu.
