While not as concealed as its sibling, New Gold Mountain, Double Happiness still prides itself on being for those in the know and its regulars would likely hope it stays this way. Aptly named after the traditional Chinese character for joy and happiness, this is a true hole-in-the-wall, and is delightfully intimate with décor inspired by its location on the cusp of the city's bustling Chinatown. Chinese ornamental designs are dominant, and a plethora of communist propaganda such as posters, statues and trinkets pay tribute to Chairman Mao.

The staff are uber friendly and efficient and more than happy to recommend a beverage from the menu, or tailor one to suit your taste. Tongue-in-cheek cocktails, such as the 'Dictatorship of the Proletariat' and the 'Great Leap Forward' infused with lychee vodka, mint, lime and ginger are favourites, as are the chilli and plum martinis. For those keeping it simple, Tsingtao and Tiger beers are also available. If you’re craving a little something extra, bar snacks are at hand – we recommend the homemade steamed dumplings. The atmosphere varies from a hip and stylish crowd sampling spicy drinks, to groups huddling around the cosy and central open fire creating a subtle hum of conversation.

All in all, this welcoming den makes for a perfect night – whether you are looking for a quiet night 'in' catching up with old friends, or a platform from which to kick off your night on the town.
