I was recently asked by some friends about where the best place to get a beer would be in Hong Kong. Apparently, they had wandered the streets on the island and couldn’t find a single pub, club or bar. Unfortunately, they gave up and resorted to going to a corner shop to buy drinks and then going back to their hotel room.
I had to come to the conclusion that my friends weren’t very avid travelers since Hong Kong is full of drinking places but I would recommend a couple of places on Hong Kong island. One of the most popular places, especially for the expatriate community, is Lan Kwai Fong. It’s basically a couple of streets full of bars, and you can find any type of bar that you’d like. There’s Bit Point, a small bar serving European beers and a multitude of different types of Schnapps. Right opposite there’s a club called Insomnia, which has live music from some amazing Filipino bands most nights.
