When drinking first becomes a fantastic trip to find a bar, it seems to become more surprising and interesting. Stockton is one such Speakeasy-style bar, which is located at the intersection of Wyndham Street but never has an entrance. Stockton's location is actually not remote, there is a small door at the intersection of Wyndham Street with no house number and no signage, and it is pitch black when you look inside. Walking through the small doorway, which is nothing more than the narrow patio of a dilapidated house, more like a private residence, at this time boldly walk up the "Z" staircase, hear the word "Welcome" at the door, and you are already in this top bar in Hong Kong.
Stockton's interior style is a complete imitation of the late 18th and early 19th century private clubs in England. Dim lighting, red brick walls, retro red velvet sofas, solid wood tables and chairs, surrealist hanging decorations, gramophones and other elements, accompanied by soft jazz music, make you feel like you are in a British country. All the old objects were purchased by the owners from the antique markets of Paris, and the surrealist portraits on the walls were purchased in England. The lobby area has booths and a bar, and there are two separate private rooms, which resemble the living room of an English family. Don't be startled by the restrooms in the bar, which are as dimly lit as the lobby and have a one-sided perspective on the walls, so that people inside can see the flow of people passing outside, but from the outside it looks like a wall.
There are more than 150 types of whiskey, including vodka, tequila, and champagne, and there are more than 150 whiskies made in the United States and Scotland, as well as Japanese whiskies. Cocktails are also featured in the store, with Fiery Ginger pairing Martell cognac with ginger in a black egg-shaped device that has a hint of spiciness in the mouth and a sweetness of cognac in the mouth. Forty Four is served in a delicate glass, with Apple brandy as the base, and egg whites are added to beat until frothy, and the mouth has a creamy melting feeling.
Stockton's meals are no slouch. Scotch eggs, duck eggs wrapped in sausage crumbles and fried with breadcrumbs, are a traditional British snack that is rare even in Hong Kong restaurants. Caviar is also worth trying, as it can be served with toppings such as crushed eggs and pancakes, but a more delicious meal is served with a glass of vodka with the saltiness of caviar.
If you're in the vicinity of Lan Kwai Fong, look for this hidden bar. However, remember not to dress too casually or sportily so that you don't get in.
