This is a tribute to one of my favorite bars in Hong Kong...
and I'm soooo wishing that the Rayne never stops!
This temple of house music and purple lights is my second home
A hot bartender, perfectly mixed drinks, and art nouveau on the walls
tells my heart and my liver that nothing can go wrong.
I have never missed a visit to this spot in ALL of my HK trips. This purple hued bar along Wyndham Street in Central is a sweet haven. I still herald that their Long Island Iced Tea is the best in all of Hong Kong.
The perfect mix of vodka, rum, additional alcohol, plus more alcohol, and that crisp Bombay Sapphire smoothly blended with cola and topped with a slice of lemon...
It was like a firecracker of taste and flavor in every sip!

In as much as I love their drinks, every time I set foot in this place, great and fantastic memories come rushing in.
The light wood floors where I partied hard and spilled drinks on, the contemporary motif that made every night dreamy...
The cozy couches and plush pillows where I shared seats and amazing stories with people, and the sensuous ambiance that just blew my mind away!
The focal point in the room is the purplish lighted bar which covers almost the length of the east wall. I had about a dozen shots with this bar and a dozen more shots taken from it.
Bringing myself down from a dreamy high, Rayne is a typical place to hangout after office hours. There were instances when we ended work early and headed straight to this place. Calming, chill, and relaxing were the perfect descriptive words. Consequently, the aura draws an older crowd than we were. I'd say crowd demo is is in the early to mid thirties. But that I don't mind, greater conversations spring from older thoughts.
If ever you're around Central, don't forget to drop by Rayne and try their Long Island Ice Tea!
