The Iron Fairies

The Iron Fairies Hong Kong

The Iron Fairies cocktail space has opened in Hong Kong, discovered via a nondescript entrance on Pottinger Street, belying its Hollywood Road address. To find The Iron Fairies you will benefit from a keen sense of direction and an appetite to discover the mystery of famed Aussie designer – Ashley Sutton who has created a bar with immense attention to detail.

Award-winning Australian designer Ashley Sutton has been known as the legend of Bangkok nightlife, his fantastical creations include the iconic Maggie Choo’s Bar, Sing Sing Theater, The Bookshop Bar, Bangkok Betty and many more. The Iron Fairies marks Sutton’s third venue for the city.

Inspired by Sutton’s experience in the iron ore mines of Western Australia, the space is derived from an ironsmith’s workshop that has become bewitched by a troupe of mischievous fairies determined to dance and sing the night away.

To re-create the feel of an ironsmith’s workshop the venue is furnished with raw iron, hand-hewn timber, contrasted by soft supple leather. The space caters for 80 guests and combines the industrial and the whimsical with low-slung ceilings, working mine machinery, custom furnishings and a hanging garden that houses 10,000 intricately crafted butterflies. The workshop will also be home to 12 fairies each having their own unique personality and identity.

Head Chef Todd Williams offers up an innovative menu where dishes like the Fried Pork Knuckle, Fat Gut’s Overloaded Burger and Vita’s Honey Toast are matched with some deliciously tasty selection craft beers, cocktails and a selection of wines.

The Iron Fairies will also feature an everchanging roster of jazz and blues acts, adding entertainment to the mysterious and enchanted venue.
