Food history · Craft cocktails in Lan Kwai Fong
“They do a damn good job with their crafted cocktails.”
American
A Lan Kwai Fong two-floor concept Roger liked for its minimalist Prohibition-era cocktails upstairs (Lily) and food downstairs (Bloom), plus a cigar lounge for pairing a Cuban with whiskey.
Lily & Bloom survived a planned 2018 closure under new ownership but is now listed as permanently closed. This page keeps Roger's dated review as a record, not as a place to visit.

Roger liked the minimalist Lily-for-drinks, Bloom-for-food split, praising the Prohibition-era stirred cocktails and the cigar lounge for pairing a Cuban with a whiskey pour, despite the weekend crowds.

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.
Great food, slow service: the birthday dinner where Roger was charged $1.50 for a truffle nobody ordered.
