It\u2019s still another week before the long Easter holiday, but the city\u2019s bar scene is alive and kicking regardless. Gokan<\/span> brings in chefs and bartenders from across China, South Korea and Japan for a night celebrating some of the best mixology from the three regions. The Doctor\u2019s Residence by Dr Fern hosts an experimental concept from Osaka, and Bar Anima reopens on Stanley Street, rejoining the city\u2019s handful of dedicated, Japanese-style outposts.<\/div>\n
