Bar Leone in Hong Kong has gained an incredible reputation worldwide – and after visiting the venue first hand earlier this year, our podcast host Melita Kiely says it is easy to see why. Founder Lorenzo Antinori has brought a slice of Italian hospitality to Asia, where guests can expect approachable but delicious cocktails, satiating food offerings alongside, and a vibrant, warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s not hard to see why Bar Leone was voted the number one bar in Asia in 2024, and second globally. This episode explores how Lorenzo has achieved such dizzying heights of success, and what’s still to come – including a second Cuban-inspired bar opening in Hong Kong this summer.
