2. Dragon-I
A dim sum diner by day and an exclusive club by night, Dragon-I welcomes glitterati from around the world in the heart of Hong Kong. Since its inception in 2002, the stylish establishment has attracted the city’s crème de la crème, with models, tables and champagne bottles popping by the hour. With a predominantly red palette and a delicate fusion of Chinese-Japanese-inspired interiors, it’s the perfect place to dance the night away. Who knows, you may even bump into Michelle Yeoh, Rihanna, Snoop Dogg or Leonardo DiCaprio on their next trip to the city — they’re known to be fans.
3. Cassio
Once the dinner service ends, Cassio turns up the heat and transforms into a party hotspot. Nestled within the LKF Tower, this upbeat club plays a diverse mix of genres from R&B and disco to house, reggae and salsa. Special guests like Djuma Soundsystem and Brooklyn-based Bedouin often make appearances. But it’s not just the music that sets Cassio apart — their creative cocktails are crafted with passion and artistry. If things get too hectic inside — which they often do after midnight — just head to the terrace and continue your boogie under the stars.

Whether you’re a hip-hop newbie, a curious explorer or a hardcore raver, swing by on your next Friday night to see for yourself what the hype is all about.
6. Stockton
Stockton is a an eclectic, speakeasy-style bar and lounge on Wyndham Street. Tucked away down a dark alley behind a nondescript door, the dimly-lit space transports you to the halcyon days of Victorian-era London with its enormous vintage leather couches, antique art and dark-wood interiors. The lounge has an intimate feel, and its gentleman’s-club-turned-cigar-lounge vibe makes it the ultimate choice for the city’s most glamorous crowds.

7. Furutu

The stylish bar and lounge boasts over 180 types of Bordeaux wines and champagnes and over 200 varieties of gins, so drinking connoisseurs are spoilt for choice. Dance to tunes from DJs like Anil Ahuja and Jamie Maddock and groove till sunrise.
