• Gay Invasion
  This roving Thu night club targets a different straight club each week and puts out the word to take over the place for the night. Instant gay club!

• 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.

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Volume is upbeat, nicely decorated and the people are quite trendy. The music was also quite cool. A great place to go pre and after dinner! I truly recommend it." -- Domag, Dec 5, 2006

• 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. Welcoming and helpful staff. The crowd is mostly young, local gay men with a few foreigners. Very popular cruising corridors. Busiest from 10-midnight. 香港中環雲咸街30-32號1樓

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Went to Works, which is right outside of the big Lan Kwai Fong ex-pat nightlife area in Central. The club fee was HK$60 which included a drink and on a Sat night it was hopping with a mix of ex-pats and travelers as well as locals - all partying hard. The bar has 'No Dancing' signs posted, but there's a little dance floor where a few shake their groove thang a bit.... the whole place clears out at 1:30am and everyone goes to Propoganda." -- cameron, Jan 8, 2006

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Go to Lan Kwai Fong in Central where many bars are located. Club 97 on the main street is good. On Fri and Sat nights, head to Muilanfong (locals call it the M Bar) and Volume for drinks and Propaganda for dancing." -- ladolcevita, Aug 11, 2007

It's a popular spot for a pint after work, and gets very busy after 9pm. There is a computer for those customers who want to check their email, or just surf the Net free. 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
