Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

The beer selection is outstanding, specially belgium beers. The service is also great, the staff is fast, knowledgeable and warm. The atmosphere is pretty mid and can totally kill the mood. There's no ac on the front, so if it's HK summer be aware of this 😅

Positive: it’s a good place to watch a football game. But it took me 50 minutes to get the food. And the staff acted really rudely. The food was average, pretty tasteless. And no, throwing the credit card terminal around and complaining that I asked for the food after 35 minutes is not how you should do it. I was the first time there, and shocked about the service.

They get five stars simply for selling Tripel Karmeliet, which is my favourite Belgian beer. And an added bonus is they have the correct glasses to the beer.

Enjoy a wide variety of beers while soaking up the lively atmosphere of the city. Sipping beer while nibbling on fries and watching taxis and people climb the steep slope is incredibly delicious.

Located on Elgin Street, Belly and the Beer is a bar restaurant that serves a large selection of Belgian beer, along with Belgian snacks and tradition dishes to fill your stomach!🇧🇪loved the Beer Tasting Platter, where you can pick 6 beers to make a platter, but we left the job for the more knowledgable staff to help us choose. Ranging from wheat beer, brown ale and black IPA, this beer flight sure is a way to experience the Belgian beer culture!🍻
