HOPE & SESAME

GUANGZHOU

Hope & Sesame, opened in March 2016, is tucked away behind a traditional Cantonese store in the trendy neighbourhoods of DongshanKou, the heart of the old Guangzhou. The bar is a unique testing ground for cocktail and innovation, with a love for sharing our Asian hospitality culture.

Reservation

The Bar open every night at 6 pm for walk-in only.

We have every night two rounds of booking: 8pm – 10pm & 10pm onwards and we keep reservation for up to 15 min unless informed of late arrival.

Please kindly note, reservation one day before, is highly recommended. We usually don’t have space for the same day however, 6pm for walk-ins and 11:30pm would be the best way to come for a drink today without reservation.

Vol #15
"To the flavors"

Our latest cocktail menu takes inspiration from creative flavor combinations, rather than a specific theme. Each drink is crafted to bring together unique and unexpected flavors, offering a refreshing departure from traditional cocktails.
