  "Checked Bear Pub. Now it has another name, or at least a Chinese name which has nothing to do with 'Bear Pub'. But the English name remains very literal as it's really a place full of chubs. Good for guys who share that taste. Very smoky place." -- davidhunghk, Nov 16, 2009

• Rich-e (Chuang Yi)
  Tianhe Bld, 133 Ti Yu Xi Lu, 3886-2388. Fun crowd at this dance bar.
• Velvet
  1/F no 403 International Electronic Mansion, Huanshi Dong Lu, Chinese Overseas Village, 8732-7801, 8732-7802. Gays head here when the other clubs empty.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Checked out Velvet tonight. Very smoky place, well crowded. I think most guys come when other places close, so no need to go there early. After 3am they turn down the music and people start leaving. Y$50 per cocktail and they are generous on alcohol. The music is really good. But beware of several things: 1) some bartenders are not very honest, so double check the price; 2) very rude and incompetent security guys; 3) pick-pockets." -- davidhunghk, Nov 15, 2009

"A Chinese friend introduce to me this very very local gay disco/KTV called DangDang bar, 8139-1221, 8139-3879, 139-2957-4760. You won't see many foreigners there, but there are plenty of shows. It is on 2/F in a famous pedestrian street, Shifu Lu and it is very close to Holiday Inn." -- suehiro, Aug 11, 2009
