Live Music entertainment in Hong Kong

  1. A

    Wanch

    This place, which derives its name from what everyone calls the district, has live music (mostly rock and folk with the occasional solo guitarist thrown in) seven nights a week from 9pm. Jam night is Monday from 8pm. If you’re not here for the music, it can be a dubious scene – the Wanch can be a bit of a pick-up joint.

    Fringe Gallery

    The Fringe, a friendly and eclectic venue on the border of the Lan Kwai Fong quadrant, has original music in its gallery-bar from 10.30pm on Friday and Saturday, with jazz, rock and world music getting the most airplay. There’s a pleasant rooftop bar open in the warmer months.

    Carnegie’s

    The rock memorabilia festooning the walls makes it all seem a bit Hard Rock Café-ish, but this place is worth a look all the same. From 9pm on Friday and Saturday, Car- negie’s fills up with revellers, many of whom will end up dancing on the bar. All good clean fun.

    Dusk Till Dawn

    There’s live music from 10.30pm, with an emphasis on beats and vibes that will get your booty shaking. The dance floor can get packed but the atmosphere is more friendly than sleazy. The food here sticks to easy fillers, such as meat pies and burgers.

    La Tasca

    La Tasca is more a cantina and bar than a restaurant nowadays and has live music starting from 22:00 on Saturdays. But it still does a set lunch and food at night, including tasty tapas and more substantial main courses.

    Bohemian Lounge

    This long, narrow watering hole is a great place for a libation anytime, but try to make it on Thursday after 9pm or Friday or Saturday after 10pm when live jazz kicks in.
