AKINNA BAR

Akinna is a walk-in bar — OpenRice lists a phone number (9483 6206) and a “Phone Reservation” badge, but reviewers book same-day or just walk in; the indoor room is small and easy to fill on a Friday night. The address (Shop 17, G/F, AIA Tower, 183 Electric Road) is one block east of Fortress Hill MTR, tucked under the AIA office block. There are no public reports of a dog-friendly booking channel or a separate pet zone — call the venue to confirm if you’re coming with a medium-to-large dog.

• Walk-ins accepted: yes (typical bar flow).
• Booking channel: phone (9483 6206) is the only documented route; OpenRice does not surface an online booking button.
• Lead time: Friday/Saturday evenings after 20:00 fill with groups; call a few hours ahead on weekends.
• Pet-section hours: none reported — pet access tracks the bar’s general hours (see How to get there).
• The vibe: owner-hostess is described as warm and attentive (reviewers call her out by name); nothing in the public reviews mentions dog hosting either way.

• Minimum charge: none reported. The price band is $101–200 per person on OpenRice, which is the upper-mid bar range — ramen and izakaya dishes cluster below that, wine and whisky list pushes the head higher.
• Per-dog charge: none reported.
• Pet menu / treats: none reported — no dedicated dog menu, no documented house treats. Bring your own water, treats, and mat.
• Hidden fees to watch: one April 2024 reviewer flagged a $15 “dish-washing fee” + 10% service that wasn’t disclosed when a complimentary shrimp-chip snack arrived at the table. Budget for it, or ask the bill to be itemised before paying.
• Payment methods (per OpenRice): Visa, Mastercard, AlipayHK, Alipay, Cash, AE, UnionPay, Apple Pay, WeChat Pay. Spot-payment only.

There is no documented indoor or outdoor pet zone — Akinna is a small bar-restaurant, not a mall pet section or a park café. The seating is a single indoor room with bar-style tables; no reviewer mentions an outdoor terrace or a dog-friendly area.

• Relief area on-site: none — step out onto Electric Road and find a green pocket nearby (see Nearby).
• Off-leash permitted? Not reported. Treat as on-leash throughout.
• Distance from non-dog diners: zero — the room is small and groups book whole tables on weekends; reactive dogs are not a great fit here.

• Water bowl: not reported by any source.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not reported.
• Pet treats on the house: not reported (the complimentary shrimp-chip snack is for humans and triggers the dish-washing fee — don’t share it with a dog).
• Pet menu: none reported.
• Pet stroller parking: the door is street-level but the room is tight on busy nights — fold strollers at the entrance and ask the hostess where to leave them.
• Pet-friendly toilet: none — use the MTR or Fortress Hill commercial buildings.

By MTR, Akinna is a 4-minute walk from Fortress Hill MTR Station Exit A (per OpenRice’s listed address line). North Point MTR Exit A2 is also reachable in roughly 8–10 minutes on foot down King’s Road and across Electric Road.

• Tram: the Hong Kong Island tram stops at Fortress Hill (the stop is right outside the MTR exit) — a cheap, dog-tolerated option along the Causeway Bay–Quarry Bay corridor. Off-peak trams are calm enough for small-to-medium dogs in a carrier or on a short leash.
• Bus: King’s Road corridor — 8X, 10, 18, 19, 23, 25, 41A, 63, 65, 77, 81, 99 — all within a 3-minute walk at the King’s Road / Electric Road junction.
• Step-free entry: yes — shop is at street level on Electric Road.
• Lift required: no.
• Parking: metered street parking on Electric Road is tight after 19:00; the nearest public car park is City Plaza in Taikoo (one MTR stop east) or the AIA Tower basement (ask security).
• MTR walk time: ~4 min (Fortress Hill Exit A) / ~10 min (North Point Exit A2).

The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; not enforced or commented on in any public review for Akinna).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable — Akinna is à la carte only).
• Dogs on Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law; staff almost never know the rule by name, they will just say “no big dogs.”
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried — operators can ask.

What reviewers actually report on the ground:

• No public comment on dogs, water bowls, leash length, size cap, or max-dogs-per-table across the 73 reviews we read. Treat this venue as bookable by phone, with everything else to be confirmed at the door.
• Staff friendliness toward pets is not specifically called out — the hostess is praised for general attentiveness, which is a soft positive signal but not a guarantee.
• No size cap is documented. No “X dogs per booking” cap reported. A calm XL breed on the indoor seats is workable at the manager’s discretion.

1. Call ahead on weekends — Friday/Saturday evenings fill with groups after 20:00.
2. Bring everything for your dog — water bowl, mat, treats; nothing is provided on the house.
3. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — they can ask.
4. Bring waste bags — even when walking to a relief stop on Electric Road.
5. Budget for the $15 + 10% “dish-wash / service” line — reviewers report it appearing on bills without prior disclosure.
6. Order the 自家製黑豚叉燒拉麵 (homemade black-pork chashu ramen) and the 酒煮花甲 (wine-steamed clams) — the two highest-trafficked signatures.
7. Avoid if your dog is reactive — the room is small and groups are loud on weekend nights.
8. Do not bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
