Kowloon
Ozone might be the highest bar in Asia, but you're so far up in the stratosphere that the other-worldly views lack oomph. Grab a seat on the windproof outdoor balcony and smoosh right up against the glass. Cocktails and mixed drinks start north of HK$200, or blow your inheritance on a HK$171,000 bottle of vintage Cristal. Or maybe don't.
Oh, that temptingly empty corner table? That's HK$6000 just to park your bum there.
