How Hong Kong cocktail bars design for service, ergonomics and success

“You can tell in about 30 seconds whether a bar was designed by someone who’s worked a busy shift or by someone who drew a nice picture,” says Nikita Matveev. Ask mixologists what they notice when they walk into a bar, and they won’t mention the menu or the mood board.

They described their home as a place where conversation-fuelled dinner parties stretch well into the night and house guests are frequent. How could Bels improve...
