Great place to hang out with friends. Live music starts at 10pm, great Bands. Live performance by some great bands from the Philipines every monday to sunday night. Dusk till Dawn Wanchai, Insomia Lan Kwai Fong and Insomia Singapore have same bands playing, they are switching every three months. Before the live music start, they offer beer for HKD 35, but when the bands start playing they charge HKD 55 for standart drinks. The most aesthetically pleasing bar in Wanchai. Mellow yellow walls and pale purple wooden shutters make it look like a Mediterranean villa. It is very popular with the beautiful, the grungy, and anyone else who likes a drink, dance, and partying. The name is taken from a Tarantino movie, and the place itself tends to be jam-packed at the weekends from dusk till dawn. Have fun!

Small cozy bar offering free live music nightly, this unpretentious bar is a good hang out for live music fans. Local indie bands play on weekends, quality and style depends... try out your luck. Happy hour is generous: all day Monday, Tuesday to Thursday all day except 10pm to midnight, and Friday to Sunday all day except 9pm to 1am. It's not difficult to find long hair cool musician here, and you'll be surprised to find out that some of them are CEO of big companies in their day jobs!

A brand new live music lounge in Wanchai, decorated with lush velvet and a series of golden chandelier-lamps, a long curved marble bar, with an elongated mirror hanging above, dominate the space.

Live music resident bands every night from 9:30pm.

Happy Hour: Daily 5pm – 9:30pm, drinks at special prices. The wine is good here. FREE SNACK BUFFET during happy hour. They usually serve at around 6pm, not too early. I love the chocolate fountain (with fresh strawberry & grapes) and salami. Sometimes they even have salmon pastry. Yum!!!

Jam Night: Jam with the bands. Every Sunday, 9:30pm -2am

Chasers is a little difficult to find, but so worth it once you get there. The bar is tiny, with a small stage in the corner. Its pretty nondescript- very relaxed. The crowd ranges from locals, to business men, to tourists who've gotten the tip.
The music is rock, a lot of polynesian cover bands who are truly just as talented if not more than the original bands.

Its located on Knutsford Terrace in Kowloon. Additionally, there are also some good restaurants in the terrace so its a good after dinner bar. (I think there is a Russian and aTurkish restaurant on the block.

Dress Code: anything you like

Fenwick Pub & Disco is a good late night stomping ground. The place is always jam packed after midnight regardless of the day of the week. The place is very noisy and crowded with girls (working) from various countries, mostly Philippina, Thai and Columbian. They are open till around 6:00 am every day. If you have a problem finding a girl in this place, you are seriously screwed. Have fun.

Dress Code: Most are dressed casually, Jeans & T-shirt. You do see some in suits.

Situated just above Lan Kwai Fong, The EDGE used to be my hangout place, but seldom be there after they changed their redisent band this year. They used to have a big crowd of European expats, and now filled with local youngers and ABCs.

A stylish dance club with two bars, dance floor, live music performance, private booths, lounge and the balcony.

I was fortuntate to see some live acts in down town Honkers...some was pretty good, some plain horrid!

I remember hearing a Chinese rapper and that made me sit and listen intently and laugh myself silly. It was a site that was for sure! It just didnt cut it for me...... but there were a few 'hard cores' really getting into it.

Dress Code: Some other live venues offering all sorts are:

The Jazz Club, 34-36 D’Aguilar Street, plays far more than just trade and offers a more civilised ambience.

Dusk Till Dawn, 76 Jaffe Road, has some of the best, while its strongest nearby competitor is The Wanch, 54 Jaffe Road
