CORKS Causeway Bay

The Causeway Bay outpost of CORKS sits on Lan Fong Road and is bigger than the original Sheung Wan bar. The focus is the same: French wines, mostly from independent and family-owned producers, poured in a casual setting with bottles lining the walls.

Food is wine-bar fare such as cheese, cured ham, cold cuts and escargots, and the bar has run a Wednesday oyster night. A glass cabinet collects the corks from bottles opened, with the founders pledging a charity donation per cork once it is full.

It suits shoppers and locals looking for an easy glass of French wine away from the Causeway Bay crowds.
