On its own, this is not a must-see but it’s one of the older historical sights that make up the Wan Chai Heritage Walking Trail.
A set of 4 classic Chinese tong lau or shop-houses, it was built around 1888 and belongs to a period when Wan Chai was crowded and seedy, with an unsavoury reputation.
Tong lau houses like this were very common all over Hong Kong until the 1950s. Classical tong laus had shops and businesses at street level and then 2 or 3 floors of housing above. Widespread and largely unchecked development caused most of them to be torn down and this is one of the few very good, restored examples.
What makes this one unusual is its slightly concave façade. The deep balconies on each floor jut out over the pavement and form a gently curved and continuous verandah that overlooks busy Johnston Road.
Another point of interest is the original Woo Cheong Pawn Shop frontage. This has been deliberately retained when the building was restored. They have kept the green shopfront with its large panels of Chinese lettering around the entrance. In memory of the shop that operated here for many, many years the restaurant in the newly restored building is also called The Pawn.

I have been wanting to try The Pawn for the longest time, so when I read about their new brunch offer ($698 including champagne free-flow) we decided to give it a shot! The selection was more than amazing, with some cold platter, burrata, bruschetta, Ceaser salad to start with. Especially the beetroot shot is the highlight. After we chose 1 main course each and a dessert platter to share.More than enough food! The staff was very knowledgeable especially Ariel (if I am not wrong) and helped us top up with free-flow each time, very attentive service. Truly an outstanding experience. I was there to celebrate my birthday with my friends, they all love tha atmosphere with friendly staff. Next time will be back to dine in the terrace.

The Pawn is the informal name for the Guangzhou Verandah style Shophouse building at Nos. 60A-66 Johnston Road in Wanchai. This early 20th-century building is stop 7 on the self-guided Wanchai Heritage Trail for those interested in viewing 15 different historic buildings, marketplaces and other points of interest in this district on Hong Kong Island.
What you will find is a four-floor building with a delightful curved facade with verandahs on each floor. Historically, this was the location of important pawn shop businesses. These days there is a fairly popular British Gastropub called The Pawn that occupies a couple floors of the building, hence the informal name of the building. You'll also find an Italian bar and restaurant called La Piola on the ground floor.

Well have been to the Pawn a few time in the past and for the location use to be quite busy. I recent months not so due to economic situation. Anyways was not so busy on a friday night around 8.30pm. The vibe was nice with the DJ and we ordered a drink. My start is alway a Aperol spritz and my mate ordered a beer. Beer arrived within 5 minutes but i aperol spritz took 20minutes. When it did arrive it was watered down as the ice was melted. so i retured it and asked for less ice. Anyways my mate had already finished his drink when i got mine.
The point i am trying to make here is for 130 HKD absolutely not worth the mediocrity that came with it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there was no apology and for less you can get better value in central at ICHU or in the Land Mark. In these challenging times where busineses are suffering one would hope to get a decent product and just a little care.

我在灣仔看到了這棟美麗的騎樓/ 唐樓。遺憾的是,這可能是最著名的,但卻是為數不多保留下來的。其它的唐樓大多數都被拆除以建造高層建築。在這棟樓逗了一下里,我發現裡面有酒吧和餐廳。它們佈置得非常漂亮。在一樓前面,有舊典當店的面目被保留。這是拍照片的地方。

是座老舊復古的建築之一,經過多年的歷史,現在已經改造成餐廳,可以在外頭拍拍照,另外這次也看到《阿千看世界》的文章才知道要先在「KLOOK客路」買好券(真的比現場便宜),這位旅遊部落客阿千真的強!外加她的「agoda訂房」折扣密技也讓我省下了好幾千,有興趣的人可以上網搜尋《阿千看世界》^^

依度位於灣仔修頓附近,前身係和昌大押,足足有過百年歷史,依家已經翻新成西餐廳,每到晚上都會有大量洋人幫襯,但成個建築嘅外觀都無點變到,兩者形成強烈對比。

灣仔街頭老建築,拍起來很復古吧?
可以搭乘旁邊側門的電梯到頂樓天台,從那裡拍攝灣仔繁忙的街道是個好地方。

Had a really nice couple of after dinner drinks in the very cool and chilled out bar with some great decor and neat spaces. Really enjoyed it.
