The old brass diving helmet behind the bar looks rather like an innocent piece of decor. It fits in rather well with the rowing boat that hangs from the ceiling, the giant carved toucan, the pottted palms and the old hurricane lamps. I was mid-way through my second innocent-looking drink.

That’s the thing about cocktails, they do look so innocent. They don’t taste innocent though, and the ones in Bahama Mama’s (at $54 each - $32 in happy hour) aren’t called innocent things. I’d already had Sex on Mama’s Beach (vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry and orange Juice) and was soaking up a Carribean Sunset (Myers rum, Triple Sec, Grenadine, lime and pineapple Juice). It was then that the old diving helmet caught my attention. ‘I wonder what it’s like to wear one of those,’ I thought.

My companion read my thoughts and promptly swung into action; “Look at the menu” she said, “They have a good range of pub grub; chicken wings, nachos, pizza, onion rings.”

She also tried to tell me about the foosball tournaments they hold every month, that happy hour is from 5-9pm and again from midnight to close, that you could get six shots of tequila or vodka for a hundred dollars (I must admit that one did catch my attention). She informed me that Newsweek International had rated it as “One of the world’s best bars”

But it was no good, I was dreaming of sunken treasure and the music of steel drums … but most of all I wanted to try that old diving helmet on.

Bahama Mama’s is at 4-5 Knutsford Terrace, Tsim Sha Tsui and is open from 5pm - 3am (Mon - Thu) 5pm - 4 am (Fri & Sat), 6pm - 2am (Sun).

Bulldogs Bar and Grill, Lan Kwai Fong’s newest watering hole bills itself a British/Autralian pub and is the only traditional style tavern in Lan Kwai Fong. On the menu is classic pub grub in the form of burgers and pastas, plus a range of finger foods that includes tortilla chips, chicken strips and potato skins. You can also order a ‘Dog Platter’ which is a selection of all the finger foods. We were there so soon after the doors opened that the full menu hadn’t been implemented yet so expect more to come in the very near future

The burgers, a huge beef patty with a choice of toppings, are served with salad and chips (though some people call them French fries). The pastas are similarly generous. I tested the portions out on my son, a growing lad with the kind of appetite that only teenagers are capable of. He wolfed more than his fair share of potato skins, a Bulldog Burger - topped with mushrooms and a slice of jack cheese - and chips before announcing he was full.

There are two bars. The main bar and dining area stretches right the way through the building from the entrance on Lan Kwai Fong. Beyond this is the Birdwatchers Bar, a balcony bar that overlooks D’Aguilar Street, named no doubt for the dedicated ornithologists who like to keep an eye on who is swanning up and down the road. There are several TV screens in the bar areas, so expect Saturday nights in the footy season to be boisterous affairs. The dining area is located between the Birdwatchers Bar and a big red telephone box, away from the TVs.

The range of draught beers includes their own signature beer, Bulldog Brew, plus Fosters, Newcastle Brown Ale, Beamish, Strongbow Cider and Boddingtons. Of the bottled variety there are ten to choose from, including San Miguel imported from the Philippines, Corona, Asahi and Molsen plus all the usual suspects.
