BAR HIGH FIVE HK coming to The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Following the success of its first pop-up bar, PDT (Please Don’t Tell) earlier this year, the hotel will host a temporary recreation of legendary Tokyo bar, BAR HIGH FIVE, which achieved third place in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2016.

With BAR HIGH FIVE founder and master bartender, Mr Hidetsugu Ueno, heading the cocktail-making team, the pop-up will open in MO Bar’s upstairs private room, The Shell, between 1st September and 31st October 2016. The Shell will be transformed into a jewel-box venue reminiscent of Mr Ueno’s glamorous Ginza institution.

Mr Ueno and his team of award-winning mixologists, Ms Kaori Kurakami and Ms Yuriko Naganuma, will present 14 specially crafted cocktails at the pop-up. Since starting his career in 1992, Mr Ueno has won many awards and consistently been a finalist at the world’s leading cocktail contests. The pop-up will shine a light on the idiosyncratic art of Japanese bartending, celebrating Mr Ueno’s legendary theatrical approach, which includes meticulously carving giant blocks of ice into intricate diamonds, a spectacle guests find as enjoyable as the crafted cocktails he makes.

To complete the experience, The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong culinary director, Richard Ekkebus, will present a bespoke menu of gastronomic treats, including charcuterie of Ibérico Bellota Ham and the finest Iberian specialities by Bellota Bellota.
