Hidden Gem｜Tell Camellia: Hong Kong's Most Poetic Spot for a Tipsy Escape

Nestled on Stone Nullah Lane in Wan Chai, Tell Camellia is one of Hong Kong's rare hidden bars where you can instantly escape the hustle and bustle. Housed in a renovated old tenement building, the space retains its weathered brick walls and wooden beams, complemented by warm yellow lighting and lush greenery, creating an artistic ambiance reminiscent of Paris's Left Bank. The cocktail menu, meticulously crafted by the bartenders, draws inspiration from "flowers." A must-try is the signature "Camellia Bloom"—a slightly sweet and tangy cocktail blending gin, camellia syrup, and elderflower, offering a creamy texture and lingering aftertaste. For sparkling wine lovers, the "Blossom Fizz" features a local plum wine base, enhanced with freshly grated yuzu peel, delivering a refreshing drink with layered fruit aromas. In the corner reading area, you'll find second-hand poetry collections and art magazines, perfect for solo relaxation or quiet chats with friends. Here, there's no loud music—only the gentle melodies of vinyl records, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a slow, tipsy moment.
