Located in Tai Kwun, the former Central Police Station compound in Hong Kong, 001 Bar Tai Kwun pays homage to its site and the original 001. A secretive experience is to be explored nestled within the prison blocks. The Blue Room features an elegant waffle-like ceiling and is designed with an underground atmosphere while the Green Room houses the main bar with warm wood and a gold ladder referencing a prison escape story. The play of colour and design blends history, culture and nostalgia for an immersive and charming experience.
