To further commemorate a decade of fine drinking, great parties, and even greater people 28 HongKong Street has commissioned leading local agency The Hummingbird Co. to create a mini documentary film.

Serving as a love letter and a visual poem, the film invites friends, family, and imbibers down memory lane for another nostalgic treat. Past employees and bartenders who have made a name for themselves in the nightlife industry and have played a pivotal part in the growth of this beloved bar have taken part in this documentary to tell the story of these ten years and how 28 has become what it is today.

The film will be released on 28 Hong Kong Street and Proof & Company’s social channels on 30 October. Some of these special guests and familiar faces include Jessica ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson from No Sleep Club, Michael Callahan from Barbary Coast, Desiree ‘Desi’ Jane Silva from Sago House and Low Tide, Spencer Forhart and Paul Gabie, founders of 28 HongKong Street and Proof & Company, and more.

Fans of 28 HongKong Street and cocktail enthusiasts should also keep their eyes peeled as the team is planning a year-long celebration, including parties, a tropical pop up, a travelling roadshow, and hosting many international friends when the border is open – stay tuned!
