Music enthusiasts, you’ll want to perk up your ears for this one! The stylish restaurant and bar Felix on the top floor of The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel has launched a brand-new event series that focuses on DJs spinning tunes on vinyl records.
Every Thursday, from 8pm to 11pm, a rotation of highly respectable DJs such as Brahms, Roy Malig, Johnny Hiller, and NeeNo will spotlight their own distinctive styles with curated playlists of both mellow tracks and upbeat grooves. Music buffs would be interested to know that this is a great opportunity to experience some deep cuts from each DJ’s extensive record collections, with genres ranging from soul and jazz to Mediterranean Balearic and funk.
The Philippe Starck-designed Felix has always been a stylish, intimate space with large windows framing the city’s harbour views, and the whole experience is bound to be elevated to the next level with the vinyl series as well as special drinks and snacks that take inspiration from the 80s and 90s to go with the tunes.
Start with the 45 & Fine, a blend of sweet peach and cranberry that’s crisp and easy to drink, before moving on to the Needle Drop, which blends espresso and tequila crowned with cloud-like foam. Finally, High Fidelity leans towards citrus and herbal notes – perfect for those who don’t like their cocktails sweet and prefer tipples like a negroni. These specialty cocktails are available at $188 each.
The vinyl puns and references don’t just end there; they also extend to the snacks menu. Shrimp Toast on the Tables ($188) comes on a dish made to resemble a vinyl disc, while Turning Mini Burgers ($248 for two pieces) are pork sliders with black buns. For something a little lighter, there’s also the Analogue Popcorn ($158) flavoured with seaweed and black peppercorn.
Soak in the warmth and crackle of music on vinyl while enjoying the ambiance of one of Hong Kong’s most snazzy bars since the early 90s. Felix is located on 28/F, The Peninsula Hong Kong, Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
