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

We keep each reservation for up to 15 min past the booking time.

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 #16 x Lee Kum Kee

Inspired by the shared culinary heritage of Chinese communities worldwide and Cantonese cuisine, this menu transforms Lee Kum Kee’s sauces, from iconic Oyster Sauce to trendsetting Marinades, into cocktails. We deconstruct each sauce as a flavor code, reconstructing it into richly layered and masterfully “sauced” drinks that reinterpret local tastes and honor modern mixology.
