Happy St Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day earlier this weekend in Sai Kung. Even though it was a bit overcast, it was a nice day to enjoy the cool breeze sitting on the patio of the Beach Pub. This pub/karoke bar overlooks the beach and has quite a large seating area (tables with bar stools and booths).

They also serve homemade desserts (Photo: CathC)

I love sitting on bar chairs--these wicker ones were so comfortable (Photo: CathC).

This end of Sai Kung is a lot quieter than the "Seafood Street" (海鮮街) by the pier and restaurants. So there was no trouble finding a table and the staff didn't try to rush us out. We ordered a few rounds of drinks and had a nice time catching up with a friend from Toronto who's in town visiting family.

Not really fit to celebrate St. Patrick's Day without a Guinness, but 1664 is something we don't have in Toronto (Photo: CathC)

A weekend of fruity drinks. I first tried this in Tokyo and had been looking for it ever since I came back to HK. Finally found it at Taste Supermarket (Photo: CathC).

The bar was a great place to people watch too. There were lots of families and couples having fun on the beach with their pets. I didn't get a photo of it, but among the many dogs on the beach there was this one tiny dog with its ears and tail dyed pink.

Overall, the Beach Pub is a pretty good place to hang out in Sai Kung. The only sad part of the bar is karoke singer. She sounds all right as a live singer, but unfortunately there`s not nearly enough people to watch her perform. So most of the time she ended up sharing the mic with the few toddlers that walk by with their parents.
