New Wally Matt Lounge
The name comes from the old Waltzing Matilda pub, which was one of the daggiest gay watering holes in creation. But New Wally Matt is an upbeat and busy place and actually more a pub than a lounge.

B
Rice Bar
Rice is a popular gay bar in Sheung Wan with a lounge area that sees a bit of dancing as it gets later. It can get very crowded at the weekend.

DYMK
An excellent, upmarket gay-friendly newcomer, DYMK (or ‘does your mother know?’) caters to a discerning crowd of professionals who lounge in the dimly but stylishly lit booths. There’s an extensive wine list and cocktails including the Thai Me Up and the Pinch My Peach. Reach it through the basement staircase in Eden, the organic bistro next door.

Propaganda
Despite more gay-friendly venues out there today, Propaganda remains Hong Kong’s default gay dance club and meat market. It’s free from Tuesday to Thursday, but cover charges ($120 to $160) apply on Friday and Saturday (which also get you into Works on Friday). Enter from Ezra’s Lane, which runs between Pottinger and Cochrane Sts.

Bliss
What was a popular post-work suit hang-out called Liquid then a sophisticated lounge/dance bar called NU has metamorphosed into Hong Kong's newest low-key gay club, with two bars and ultra-sophisticated lounge. You can't miss the joint; it's next to eye-popping Rock Candy.

Tony’s Bar
This low-key, anonymous and – it has to be said – very down-at-heel gay-friendly bar just behind Mirador Mansion is a relaxed place to come for a drink, with none of that ‘last chance for romance’ tension found in some other gay venues.

Works
Sister club to Propaganda, Works is where most gay boyz out on the town start the evening, and sees some heavy FFFR (file-for-future-reference) cruising till it’s time to move on to the P. There’s a cover charge ($60 to $100) on the weekend.

Lipstick Lounge
This Japanese restaurant in the Times Square shopping mall, with out-of-this-world décor (cable vines, rondo lounges, faux birch forest) transforms each night into the camp Lipstick Lounge.

Volume
This swanky, kitsch, mirror-lined, late-night cocktail bar pumps out a range of sounds, from cheesy ‘80s hits to cutting-edge dance genres, to a mixed crowd of gay and expat locals.
