Date Spot Review: The Place (Kennedy Town)

Apparently Kennedy Town is the Hipster Ville of Hong Kong.  I don't see it, but I'll take "their" word for it.  What I do know is that I found a sweet spot, admittedly filled mostly with expats, to eat, drink and be merry (read: drunk).  It's a good first date drink spot because it's pubby without being too pubby.   The drinks were well poured by our bartender and manager (whattup Adam!?) and if you decide you're hungry, the server girl will bring menus from a handful of restaurants on the block, order your food, pay the delivery guy and just add it to your check.  Nice.  Plus, it's dog friendly.  Yep, there were a couple dogs wandering about the place and everyone in the place seemed genial and not like actual hipters (not a wool knit cap to be seen!).  As an added bonus, there were a couple of reasonably attractive ladies there in case your date goes sour and you want to try and redeem yourself after your companion walks out, leaving you hanging.  Sigh.  What am I gonna do with you?
