Smugglers Inn, Hong Kong

Smugglers Inn, Hong Kong

The Smugglers Inn is a British styled pub in Stanley, on the south side of Hong Kong Island.

Named after the smugglers that used to inhabit Stanley ('Chek Chue', the Cantonese name for Stanley, literally translates as "Bandit's post"), the Smugglers Inn has something of a pirate theme to it with wooden beams across the ceiling and tables and stools made from old barrels. Amongst other things it serves a wide range of beers as well as basic pub food, such as sandwiches and pies.

Over the years the Smugglers Inn has proved popular with both tourists and expats alike [Fallon, Steve: "Lonely Planet City Guide - "Hong Kong & Macau", 12th Edn, 2006] and become renowned for its friendly atmosphere and picturesque setting on the Stanley waterfront.
