HK really isn't all that bad for partying. Although yes, i do have to say the amount of partyin i do has died down A LOT! but that's cos i like kno 2 ppl here only...and i was in New York for the past 5 yrs! n well! need i say more??!! lol (i miss my ghetto ppls!! lol)
Basically if you wanna have a good time, you gotta be up for gettin the party started yourself - regardless of whether it's your type of crowd or not. If you're feelin the music - GO FOR IT! Grab your friend n just start workin' the dance floor. It's usually just me and one other person when i go out...n i go straight to the dance floor..n u'll see ppl DO start followin!
If you're looking to MEET people though, i would say generally wanchai is where people come to YOU. but otherwise, either go to "open" bars - as in street level bars which have their windows open and exposed to the outside world, or spill out to the street from time to time - because that's one of the traits of HK - mingling on the street.
I'm into the R&B/Reggae/Hip Hop scene, so for that i can say CClub plays good music! and Edge Saturday nights awesome dj! (mostly mainstream tho...im not too familiar w the underground scene)
Dip was good when i went..but again...we were the ones to start the dancin.....so anywhere u go, go with friends.
in Wanchai - Venue! gets REALLYY packed, n u usually end the night sweating lol
Mes Amis is a lot of fun too, tho they mix up genres, which can be fun! rock out to some 80's music!
I do wanna hit up Hei Hei tho!! we went one night...n there were like eight bouncers standing gettin ready for the night puttin their jackets on..i was like woaaah!! ok a lil intimidating! lol so we're like ummm we'll come back later!
Wednesday is also TONS of fun at Edge. It's Latin Night - whether you can or can't dance - everyone is always in good spirits, n they have a live band. I'm lookin to brush up my salsa n merengue skills! anyone interested? ;-) lol
But again.....don't go out EXPECTING to meet ppl...i find that works out better. that way u dont leave the night disappointed - and when u DO end up chattin with someone then u r pleasantly surprised ;-)
(found some veryyyy hot french men this way! lol)
