Foxglove, a speakeasy bar on Duddell Street, Central that serves up classic cocktails in 1950s glamour and charm. Brought by the team who created the legendary Mrs Pound, this refined speakeasy is as suave, sophisticated and fun in the disguise of an umbrella shop. (Too bad that Mrs Pound is permanently closed. What a quirk place!)

KingsMan: The Secret Entrance

The excitement begins right at the entrance. You're met with a wall of classy umbrellas. Very much like a scene in the movie The King’s Man, you will have to poke one of the umbrellas at the slot and, yes, a section of the wall will open. You will then step into a world that feels like the luxurious first-class cabins of a 1950s aircraft. Foxglove brings this theme to life with such charm that you can't help but soak in the atmosphere.

Moody lighting casts a warm glow on deep-blue leather seats, polished brass, and marble, making you feel as though you're in a romantic, vintage dream. Even the small details—vintage travel trunks serving as cocktail tables, small-scale airplane models, and globes—add to the charm and transportive feel of the space. A soundtrack of gentle jazz completes the picture, enhancing the bar's nostalgic yet modern atmosphere.

Discovering Nightlife Elegance

But what about the drinks? The cocktail menu at Foxglove is a delight. Try "The Bitter Truth" from their "Homage to Prohibition" list. It’s a brilliant mix of Kraken black spiced rum and Angostura bitters, brightened with a savory hint of orange and lime. If you fancy a twist on a classic, "The Guatemala Fashioned" is your go-to, a warm, inviting liquid refreshment that's a playful take on the time-honored Old Fashioned. Adding to the uniqueness, there's also the "Jailhouse Rock", a special cocktail inspired by Elvis Presley. This unusual drink pays tribute to Elvis's fondness for peanut butter and banana sandwiches, making it a quirky and fun addition to the cocktail list.

Taste Tradition With A Twist

And don't worry about going hungry! Foxglove offers a wide range of tasty dim sum. Whether you crave traditional Har Gow (prawn dumplings), or a fluffy sponge cake, they've got you covered. Some favorites even come with a fun, upscale twist, like the luxurious Lobster Siu Mai and the BBQ Pork Bun wrapped in a tasty Bolo Bao (pineapple bun) crust.
