Is the rooftop bar worth it?

fmd_good West Hotel

Spent a week at the West Hotel in @HongKong. Rooms were slick, service impeccable, but the rooftop bar… man, the photos online looked amazing. I saw a few other guests heading up there but never act… more

Totally get it. West Hotel is seriously swanky, right? I've stayed there too. The rooftop bar...eh. Views are decent, Hong Kong skyline is pretty much always amazing from anywhere high up, you know? The cocktails were...fine. Not bad, just nothing special considering the price. Felt a bit like a scene from a movie, very curated and polished, but lacked some genuine vibe. So, worth it? Probably not unless you're obsessed with Instagrammable moments. There are way cooler, more authentic bars in the city with better drinks and a less "look at me" atmosphere. You wouldn't have missed much, honestly.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was leaning towards skipping it, but the photos looked so good! Thanks for the honest review – the "Instagrammable" bit hits the nail on the head. I appreciate the heads-up about other bars; any recommendations? I'm open to something a bit more…gritty and less polished.

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
