Bar Leone

Helmed by Rome native Lorenzo Antinori, Bar Leone is designed to feel personal and welcoming. Antinori has said he wanted the bar to feel "like my grandmother's living room" — a space of comfort and genuine hospitality. This philosophy resonated strongly with voters in a year when, as Antinori noted, "consumers are seeking for comfort." He emphasized that the bar offers "no smoke and mirrors," adding, "What you see on the menu is what you're going to get."

Bar Leone is not just a place for award-winning drinks; it is a testament to the power of a clear, authentic vision. Its success proves that a bar focused on being a true "neighborhood joint" — one that prioritizes comfort, sincerity, and classic hospitality — can compete with and outshine the world's most extravagant and innovative cocktail destinations. For anyone traveling to Hong Kong, Bar Leone has become an essential pilgrimage site for cocktail lovers worldwide.
