“Club 7-Eleven” is a Hong Kong institution.
The franchise sells everything from Cabernet Sauvignon to Hennessy XO. Prices are low. Customers are allowed to linger.
Sounds like a great watering hole to the average Hong Konger.
“People in Hong Kong are really economical, we don’t have a big concern about drinking outside if we can get a good deal out of it,” said local Hong Konger Dan Lau, who we found tipping back a bottle of Guinness with a crowd by the 7-Eleven outlet on Luard Road.
“It’s the Hong Kong thing to do.”
There are three 7-Elevens within one block of Wanchai, forming a sort of Bermuda triangle of cut-price self-service booze.
