TAP: The Ale Project is a pub or bar in Mong Kok, Yau Tsim Mong, at G/F, 19 Hak Po St, Mong Kok, Kowloon. Locals and visitors alike tend to check the same things before going, so this page brings together the practical details: where it is, how to get in touch, when it is open and how customers rate it.

Under Hong Kong law, businesses may not sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18, so bars may ask for ID. Many run happy-hour deals in the early evening, weekends are the liveliest, and some venues have a minimum spend or a cover charge; for live music or private events, ask for details first.

Opening hours: Mon–Thu 15:00–00:30, Fri 15:00–01:30, Sat 12:00–01:30, Sun 12:00–00:30. It opens every day of the week. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. Phone: 2468 2010. Hong Kong numbers have eight digits; from abroad, dial +852 first. Its website is thealeproject.com, which may show prices, details of what it offers or online booking.

Customers give it an average of 4.4 out of 5 on Google (1,046 reviews), a high score by any measure.

Mong Kok is part of the Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon. Around Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay many industrial buildings now house offices, restaurants, gyms and studios, while Kai Tak is a newer district. Kowloon's streets are busiest in the evening and at weekends, shops keep long hours with many open until about 22:00, and the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Ma lines plus buses and minibuses reach almost everywhere. Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping districts: Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Fa Yuen Street (Sneakers Street) are lined with small shops, and the buildings along Nathan Road hold countless upstairs shops.

Have been away for weeks. Still the same great taproom with local spirits. Efficient service and nice staff. Wide selection of IPA. Well-conditioned lines.

The classic pale ale is worth recommending and the food was decent enough for a pub meal. Unfortunately, the service really let the place down. One server in particular seemed completely indifferent, with a passive aggressive attitude that made us feel unwelcome. Would go back for a drink, but not if that same person is serving.

Top 3 Craft Beer in Hong Kong The beer is excellent. The service is excellent. The environment is excellent, too. If you like craft beer, TAP is undoubtedly a good choice for you.

Huge selection of beer on tap and bottled from Hong Kong and around the world! Great staff! So glad I stopped! I had a HK brewery IPA, an English cloudy cider, and tried a sour triple IPA which I wish I had time to drink. Amazing. Cool atmosphere!
