If you are the partier person
Hong Kong Island is the place to be, there are many bars discos
and night clubs in the Lan Kwai Fong and Wan Chai areas.
Lan Kwai Fong's street are
almost lined with bars and restaurants that have been popular
with westerners for years. One bar renowned for plenty of expat
British clientele is the English style pub "Mad Dogs". In fact
there are several theme bars around Lan Kwai Fong, like the
German "Schnurrbart" and the "Californian" in the "Californian
Entertainment Complex".
Wan Chai was once a seedy red
light district of Hong Kong, today there still are a few
questionable venues that have strippers and the like. Generally
these places are a rip off and its not uncommon for someone to
pay more than 10 times what they expected for a beer, even a
conversation with a topless barmaid at a hostess club can empty
your wallet quickly. There are plenty of decent bars and
restaurants in the Wan Chai area like the Irish style "Delaneys"
the Tudor style "Horse and Groom", "Royal Arms" and "Horse and
Carriage".
Causeway Bay on Hong Kong
Island also has a a good nightlife scene that is a bit quieter
than the previous mentioned areas, a good place to start here
would be around the "Times Square Shopping Centre".
Over in Kowloon there are a number of bars spread
all across Tsim Sha Tsui. Popular venues include the "Hard Rock Cafe",
the Australian "Kangaroo Pub" and the Kowloon "Delaneys". While you are in Tsim Sha
Tsui at night a good walk around the Temple Street night market and down
neon lit Nathan Road are popular things to do that wont cost you a cent. |
