There was a T8 advisory coming and so I didn't intend to go too far from the hotel. Although I have had multiple trips to this part of HK, I haven't visited The Blind Pig before so this was a first.
Given the incoming weather, unsurprisingly the streets were emptier than usual, so walking was a breeze to get to the Blind Pig from East Hotel. (To be honest I have no idea why it is called TBP, my mistake for not checking).
TBP is a hole in the wall opposite the Coast Guard, whilst when you look at Google maps it is a stone throw from the coast line, in reality, between you and the sea is a 20ft high wall that means you can see nothing and you could be 20km away!
Nonetheless, TBP is a welcoming joint, with maybe 12 tables. A small bar setup, attentive and friendly staff. The decor is typical pub, warm, clean well maintained, with a couple of screens showing sports.
There are two or three tap beers including Fat Siu Yau IPA ( pretty good)
The food menu is extensive but largely confined to traditional pub fayre. I asked the staff for a recommendation between burger and ribs and he opted for ribs.
Good recommendation as the ribs were superb. The menu picture doesn't do justice to what will arrive on your plate. A full half rack, with coleslaw, corn and fries. The ribs bathed in a smoky, rich, bbq sauce, falling off the bone.
Some of the best I've had in a long time.
In looking at Google, most of their custom is lunchtime (guessing office). I'm sure the night I went was abnormally quiet due to the weather.
Around the East, there are not many western options in walking distance.. The Blind Pig is a very good one!
I will be back both to try more dishes and find out what is...

Perfect neighborhood pub for watching live sports!
1️⃣ Sharing Snack Platter $308 This platter is perfect for sharing with a group of friends while watching sports at the bar. It offers a variety of tasty snacks including meatball parmigiana, pork cracklings, piggy riblets, mini beef burgers, chicken wings, calamari fritti, and french fries. The variety ensures there is something for everyone and the portion is generous enough for at least 3-4 people to share. My friends loved the crispy pork cracklings - make sure you get some as the restaurant is best known for its pork-laden classics! 2️⃣ Seafood Paella $235 The seafood paella features a mix of mussels, prawns, and squid in saffron rice. The seafood was fresh and the rice was full of flavor from the saffron and tomato-based sauce. 3️⃣ Refreshing Piglet $62 The "Refreshing Piglet" is a mocktail made of vodka, elderflower cordial, lemon juice, apple, and cranberry juice. It has a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors with a subtle floral note from the elderflower. The apple and cranberry juice provide a refreshing, fruity kick. This would be a great drink for summer nights when you want something light and crisp.
4️⃣ Asahi $78 Order it during happy hour 2pm - 8pm for 50% off!
