Where To Go Clubbing In Hong Kong: Best Nightclubs & Music Spots

From enduring staples like Dragon-i to the newest arrivals in Lan Kwai Fong, here’s where to go dancing in Hong Kong, including our favourite nightclubs and late-night bars!

Hong Kong’s late-night scene was once a universal draw, but if we’re being honest, our city’s nightlife has seen better days. While the ‘golden era’ might be in the rearview mirror, we still have those nights when one drink turns to three, and suddenly it’s 4am on Wyndham Street. Whether you’re looking for a dark basement to hide from your responsibilities or a rooftop where the sparklers cost more than your rent, there are still a few spots worth the hangover. From the gritty corners of Central to the creative hubs of Jordan, here’s where we’re heading when the sun goes down.

AER – Soho’s newest restaurant, bar and music venue

AER (short for Aesthetic Radio) is carving out a space as a cool, music-first alternative to the rowdier parts of Central. Perched above Staunton Street, this resto-bar lives up to the ‘radio’ in its name, with a focus on excellent sound, resident DJs and collaborations with local collectives.

Oma – Basement techno spot on Castelo Steps

Tucked away on the Castelo Steps, Ōma is a far cry from the sparkler-and-champagne scene. It’s widely considered a top spot for music lovers, focusing on techno, house and electronica. The dark, stripped-back interior and excellent sound system are winners in our books, but note that the crowd is typically male dominated.

Social Room – Underground club on Stanley Street

Hidden in a nondescript building on Stanley Street, Social Room is the antithesis of a commercial club, making it a favourite for those who want to escape the Wyndham Street circus. With raw brick walls and an impressive sound system, it’s a dedicated space for techno, house and drum’n’bass, where local DJs keep the underground scene alive.

Sassy Tip: Look for dedicates sound nights like ‘Feed The Dragon’ for a dose of Jungle and Garage that you won’t find anywhere else in the city.

Bamboo – LKF’s unpretentious club and dive bar

As Lan Kwai Fong finds its feet again, Bamboo Bar injects some much-needed dive bar energy into the strip. Eschewing over-the-top bottle service, this is graffiti-covered space feels refreshingly unpolished. It’s less a traditional club and more a watering hole for the city’s creatives, frequently hosting high-energy takeovers from local DJ collectives like MÖTH.

Dragon-i is known its sleek red lanterns and high-fashion crowd, where us mere mortals dance among models.
