Nightlife

Mellow in comparison to Tokyo or Beijing, the nightlife in Hong Kong is somewhat modest, yet there is still plenty to tempt those with an appetite for a party. With plenty of bars for locals and foreigners to choose from, Hong Kong serves its own unique brand of entertainment.

Notoriously naughty Wan Chai has calmed down a lot over the last few decades, and although it has still retained some of seediness and a few girlie bars can be found, there are also many British-style pubs frequented by expatriate locals. Lan Kwai Fong is known as having one of the biggest drinking crowds in Hong Kong and the bars to sustain it and is also a well known people watching spot.

Live music is has become a standard feature of many restaurants, cocktail lounges, and bars that actively seeking it out is futile. The Fringe Club is Hong Kong’s most well known venue of all things alternative and live acts can be seen here on most weekends, for a price.

As it gets later and more alcohol is consumed, most of Hong Kong’s small bars tend to evolve into raucous nightclubs while trendy dance clubs impose a strict dress code and often only grant entrance to members.
