Mama’s Night Out: Where To Go Drinking In Hong Kong

Leave the spouse and kids, because drink deals are abundant!

The saying goes: “Happy wife, happy life.” But let’s face it, happy mums are what really make the world go ’round. And nothing gives mama that recharge of happiness than a night out with her gal pals. The problem is, many of us are on a budget or just don’t know where to go to let off a little steam (and enjoy some fine cocktails!). So we’ve gathered up some of the month’s best drink deals for you to take your pick. Pencil a date in the diary now, because it’s Mama’s Night Out!

Blue, Limewood and Brickhouse

We at Sassy Mama love us a good eco-friendly deal (#plasticfree, mm goi!) so of course we got super excited when we found out we could drink and do the planet some good. Blue, Limewood and Brickhouse are all donating $10 from each cocktail to the Plastic Oceans Foundation, and if that isn’t enough to get you bellying up to the bar, Maximal Concepts is matching that with $10 for every donation!  Details can be found here.
