Date Spot Review: The Pawn (Wan Chai)

HKH has been to The Pawn…a lot.   The first visit left the impression that it seemed like it would be a decent spot for cocktails and maybe dinner with a stone cold fox.  This impression was correct.

The place is dark, with multiple rooms on two floors, but it still has a somewhat cozy feel.  There are plenty of couches and small table for casual dining and cocktails, while the upstairs terrace restaurant is good for stepping it up a notch for a full fledged dinner.  Add to that another good sized terrace on the second floor, which overlooks the action in Wan Chai, and you’ve got a winner.

The food options are varied, but we decided to go healthy and have a Scotch Egg with a side of fries on our last visit.  The fries were perfectly cooked and the Scotch Egg was, well, eeeegggcellent.  Sorry.

Scotch egg

They’ve got a wide selection of wines and also consistently make me good Manhattan’s.  Rare in Hong Kong.  My companion had  what was essentially a lychee  and vodka Martini.  Since she had two I will assume she approved.

Grade: A

Good for:   First date drinks, followed by dinner if you’re getting along swimmingly.
