Add on hot chicken tenders for HK$30 or a heaping pile of classic fries for HK$20 if you are feeling peckish. Available Monday to Friday from 4pm to 6pm, this is one of the best happy hours in Hong Kong that will leave you incredibly satisfied.

Oolaa — Multiple locations
This happy hour is giving us all the summer feels. Hop on over to one of Oolaa’s four locations in Tung Chung, Wan Chai, Central, or Tseung Kwan O to sip on HK$65 Aperol Spritzes.
