(Hong Kong, March 24, 2009) – Modern British restaurant and bar -- The Pawn is celebrating its first anniversary with a charity programme in which patrons can exchange 'pawned' donations for complimentary drinks.
Any 70 – 80% new clothes, books or toys can be donated. All donations will be given to The Salvation Army Hong Kong. The initiative pays homage to The Pawn's location on the site of the historic Woo Cheong Pawnshop after which the venue is named.
A dedicated reception resembling a pawnshop façade in the venue's 'Living Room' will be accepting 'pawned' items from 5pm onwards daily during the month-long campaign.
"There are no limitations on pawned items as our aim is to encourage patrons to donate for a good cause," said The Pawn co-proprietor Alan Lo.
The whiskey bar in the ‘Living Room’ is also offering a complimentary round of three whiskeys worth HK$188.8 to patrons guessing them all correctly in commemoration of the year this heritage building was built.
About The Pawn
Incorporating a roof garden in a 14,000 square foot venue over 3 storeys, The Pawn was styled by Hong Kong artist and film director Stanley Wong (better known as 'Anothermountainman') as an "adult playground integrating eat, drink and play".
It specializes in modern British fare plus specially selected wines, a fine selection of whiskies and bespoke cocktails.
A simple and informal Dining Room serves modern British fare by London chef David Tamlyn and the Living Room lounge and bar features bespoke drinks created by mixologists and a carefully curated selection of draft beers, ales, ciders, wines and single-malt whiskies.
The Roof Garden overlooking bustling Wanchai and Admiralty serves custom-made cocktails and is also available for private parties.
The Pawn occupies four former tenement houses dating back to the 1880s, which included the famous Woo Cheong Pawnshop, and is one of the few remaining Chinese heritage buildings in Hong Kong.
