The Duke of York, Sai Kung was opened in the late eighties by 2 Brits. They have both sadly passed away since. They were real characters and brought life and humour to this have of common sense in abundance.

And although they may appear to be an unruly lot, if you take a seat you will very likely find yourself right at home here and having a roaring good time and you'll wake up with your chest aching due to the laughs you had the night before.
The Duke of York is not the Ritz, it's better than the Ritz!...

What a...
