Under Hong Kong law, businesses may not sell or supply alcohol to anyone under 18, so bars may ask for ID. Many run happy-hour deals in the early evening, weekends are the liveliest, and some venues have a minimum spend or a cover charge; for live music or private events, ask for details first.

Opening hours: daily, 00:00–06:00 and 10:00–24:00. It opens every day of the week. Lunch and dinner are served in separate sessions with a break in between. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. You can call 2320 3031; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there. More information is on its website, taboowanchai.com.

Wan Chai is part of the Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving. Wan Chai mixes the office towers around the Convention and Exhibition Centre with old markets and tenement buildings, and nearby restaurants get busy during big trade fairs.

For partying and finding ways to release your bad energy in a good way. Come to this place move your move body on the dance floor. Drink up until you drop.

A fun lively place, in what was historically the red light district. Though US and British sailors no longer dock, the local Indonesian and Filipino population of women helpers still make this their home away from home, especially the night before their day off, which is Sundays. So the ratio of women is skewed highly in their favor. Possibly five to one. Watch out guys, since there are no more sailors to keep them entertained and most of these women don't get too much activity from Hong Kong men, they will want to dance with you. The bands here are too notch.

One of my favorite bar for happy hour or lunch in Wan Chai district. That said the price is a bit more expensive than the rest in the same area for lunch. And yet you get value for money as the foods are really better than the rest in the same district.
