New cocktail bar Gossip opens at Foco, Dr. Fern’s Gin Parlour returns as The Doctor’s Residence, and the second edition of Nicola’s Night lands at Terrible Baby

It’s a great weekend to catch up on new openings as we prepare to bid farewell to the month of June. The duo behind Socio have just opened their second concept, positioned as a “premium cocktail club”. After Dr. Fern’s closed in January, the doctor is back as The Pottinger opens gin concept The Doctor’s Residence. Round out your weekend on Kowloon side as Nicola’s Night returns to Terrible Baby with its second edition, dubbed The Italians.

Where: 3/F, Foco Building, 48 Cochrane Street, Central

When: 6pm-2am

What: When we reported on Dr. Fern’s Gin Parlour’s closure in January, Hong Kong’s beverage scene waited with bated breath to see if and when the gin specialist would reopen. The Pottinger hotel gave us the answer just last week, as The Doctor’s Residence began its soft opening at The Envoy’s former location – one complete with a terrace.
