Alfie’s

I wanted to like you, but whyyyyy such bad service??? :(Giving this 2 stars instead of 1 star just because Kay’s pretty chill.
I’d have to say when I first sat down, I didn’t see any locals in the bar at all. Everyone were foreigners and expats. I felt like I was in EU instead of HK for some reason. While other bars in Central have a large amount of expats and locals, this one just felt like it was all expats. Nothing bad at all about that, was just an interesting observation that my friend and I had.
The service is seriously lacking compared to other bars in the area. It was impossible to get the waitress’ attention, and when we finally got her attention, her tone was horrible. Unfortunately, I think she was actually the manager at this bar, that’s even worse. –_​–
Another waitress took our order and this is how it went down:
Me: I’d like to get The Roosevelt
Her: What? :Stares at me blankly:
Me: The Roosevelt
Her: :Stares at me blankly:
Me: (Okay, fair, people pronounce Roosevelt differently, let me try the other way of saying it) The Roosevelt
Her: You know that’s a martini right?
Me: Yes…
Her: It’s really strong
Me: Okay…
Her: You still want it?
Me: Yes…
Her: Okay
… Thanks?
I do have to say they have THE BEST olives in town. The Roosevelt Martini was okay but the olives that came with it were deliciousss.
While I am not impressed at all with the staff here, Kay, the bartender, is pretty badass. Love that she’s just super chill. We all got a round of shots before leaving. Thanks, Kay!

I’ve been to Alfie’s by dunhill a few times. They really have improved along the way. The first time we came, it felt just like a snobby men’s bar and nothing that special. Progressively they opened up and became more approachable.
I come here once in a while or drinks. They have a good collection at the bar, consisting of whiskies, cocktails, beer and wine. The atmosphere feels very British, it has a men’s club kind of feel, with the plush leather sofas and wooden details.
The last time I came, I realized they do breakfast here too! I came here one morning, intentionally for breakfast but actually at the end, we decided we needed coffee more than food. The vibe was nice though. It felt almost like we were at a five star hotel coffee shop. The windows allowed natural light to shine in, it was quiet but there were a few tables around so that it wasn’t too intimidating, it was just very comfortable. I never tried the food here yet but sure am looking forward to it next time.

Sitting pretty upstairs above the Alfred Dunhill store in the Princes Building, Alfie’s has the suited and booted vibe of a well heeled and long established gentleman’s club. It’s all dim lighting and dark leather, not to mention scrummy cocktails and seriously good food.
There is a distinctly English vibe to both the menu and the beer list, and I can promise you they do a very decent yorkshire pud. I must say I felt a bit funny wolfing down that venerable pub or home kitchen classic while swilling a vodka cocktail. This is a classy joint, so don’t rock on up in your jeans and converse expecting a table. The prices are also fairly steep so it’s probably not your regular Friday night boozer. But as a spot for dinner with conversation it’s perfect and I say jump at every chance you get.
