North Point is not normally the first location you would think of when you want to grab a drink, but we think cocktail bar Cure can change your mind. This drinking den is tucked away in the basement of an unassuming commercial building, but it’s just a few steps away from exit A4 of North Point MTR station, so you’ll definitely be able to drink your fill and still make the last train. Once you step past Cure’s multicoloured doors, you’ll be transported into a spacious futuristic bar with large screens displaying psychedelic visuals.
While the bar staff can shake up any classic cocktail, we recommend you try their signature creations or Cure-ated cocktails. Each signature cocktail on the menu represents a specific emotion or feeling, and Cure’s bartenders can offer recommendations based on how you’re feeling. Menu highlights include Calm Currents, a refreshing Earl Grey-infused rum-based cocktail with grapefruit, and Warmth & Whispers, a modern take on a whisky sour made with bacon fat-washed bourbon and blackberries. Our personal favourite is Fire & Harmony, a spicy and aromatic take on a margarita, made with chill-infused tequila and cinnamon essence and smoked in applewood chips before serving. Pair your cocktails with Cure’s light bites such as buffalo chicken poppers with blue cheese dip, beer-battered fish and chips with tartare sauce, or even desserts like churros with sea salt-infused caramel sauce.
