• Volume
  LG/F 83-85 Hollywood Rd (see map, corner of Aberdeen), Central, 2857-7683, email. Aberdeen side entrance is sometimes closed in which case enter at the back side of the club on the hillside staircase. This late night and after-hours cocktail and music venue has a nice mix of gay locals, ex-pats and visitors. Long J-shaped bar with table and couch seating around the space, VIP nook and even a small performance/dance area. Flashy kitch decor accents set the fun dial on high. Well-placed mirrors for preening and cruising. Beats range from drum and bass, to electro, uplifting trance, hard house, progressive house and occasional lashings of high camp mash-ups of 80s hits. Volume pumps up the latest tracks from around the globe.
• Works
  1/F, 30-32 Wyndham St (see map), Central, 2868-6102. The owners of Propaganda re-opened their former location under this new name and with cheaper entrance prices. Lively and friendly.

The crowd is a nice mix of locals who like foreigners, expats and visitors. Lots of smiles all around.九龍尖沙咀堪富利士道5A地下
• Wally Matt Lounge
  Lower G/F 72B Kimberley Rd, TST, Kowloon, 2367-6874, email. The original Wally Matt is still as busy as ever, with more of a Chinese clientele than its sister bar (see above). A lovely pub -- sort of postmodern Kowloon flavor, with Chinese poems about friendship inside glass blocks, set into brushed aluminum walls, and cast iron incense cones hanging from the ceiling. There is a lounge area, with tables and chairs, a large L-shaped bar. The staff are very friendly (and cute!). 九龍尖沙咀金巴利道72B號地庫

HONG KONG ISLAND -- Central, Lan Kwai Fong

  B/F On Lok Mansion, 39-43 Hollywood Rd (see map), 2543-8856, email. Gay-friendly late night club. Small dance floor, comfortable seating, great martinis. Great DJs, Busiest after 1am. Sun is gay night. You may need to call and reserve entry as it gets completely packed.
• Propaganda
  B/F 1 Hollywood Rd (see map), Central, 2868-1316. When you get to the address, go down the steps and behind the building to find the entrance. Large, trendy and expensive. The place to go in HK for both locals and visitors. The club is large and is divided into a disco floor (very crowded on weekends and after 1am nightly) and a conversation bar. Busiest after the other nearby gay bars close. Stays open until as late as possible. 香港中環荷李活道1號低層

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Propaganda was a big letdown. The venue is fine and if you get in free (go to Works bar Fri first) then it's OK; but be prepared for unfriendly staff, expensive drinks, and dull music that takes itself too seriously. The guy on the reception desk is seriously unfriendly, but you can often meet friendly local guys inside. Good place to meet local guys, but Propaganda don't try hard enough." -- danny74, Sep 9, 2008
