Catering to the upscale partier, this is one of the bigger party venues in town. The 8,000 square foot club is divvied up into three spacious areas, with each room radiating its own vibe and music. The entrance martini oval lounge has a dark sexy feel about it with dangling golden chains and a musical focus on hip hop and r&b music. Step on through into the main room and you’ll gravitate towards the long bar, which seats up to 30 people. It’s the ideal place to perch on a barstool and chat to an attractive patron or two whilst enjoying a glass of champagne. The dance floor was definitely the highlight of the club, definitely something to go and experience for yourself. Slick white arches surrounding the circular dance floor house cozy niches, an ideal location to sit and talent spot. For the exhibitionist amongst us, Tribeca comes equipped with a glammed up stage befitting only the most striking of dancers. If this isn’t your scene, try the third late night lounge where the décor embodies sophistication. The dark wood fittings and leather sofas are reminiscent of salons where gentlemen sip their single malts.

The club’s playlist is eclectic but agreeable, with nods to what’s hot on the world’s trendiest dance floors. Drink options are plentiful and the martinis delectable. Nightlife in Hong Kong often lacks variety, but at Tribeca we were spoiled for choice.

Manifesto is the low-key version of Bar Rouge. Manifesto boasts a fantastic atmosphere, tasty drinks, and awesome décor without the drunken westerners and snobby models. Located on Julu Lu near several great restaurants (including Mesa, which is actually connected to Manifesto), this locale can easily top off a romantic date or exciting night out with friends. Manifesto offers a variety of seating from high seats at the bar to comfy cushioned booths, so you can snuggle up with your sweetheart. The drink menu includes all of the classic choices with cocktails priced around 50RMB beer around 40RMB. In addition to the standard choices Manifesto  offers some creative specialties including a great lychee flavored martini. Manifesto is a cozy yet elegant locale. When I feel the urge to be grown up and get a little dressed up, this is my first choice.

Update: Manifesto just moved upstairs from Mesa to an even cooler space with a lovely terrace.

How to get there: Take Metro Line 1 to Changshu Rd. Station. Exit onto Changshu Rd. and head north. Take a right on Julu Lu. Manifesto is on the left side of the street before the intersection with Fumin Lu.

FINDS is a slick restaurant and bar located on the top of Lan Kwai Fong. The name stands for Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden and they serve signature dishes from the whole region. They specialise in fine dining, funky entertainment, and fine enjoyable drinking with scapas (Scandinavia tapas snacks) to boot. The décor could be described as icy-cool with flowing whites, light blues and dim romantic lighting – easily one of the best designed outlets in Lan Kwai Fong. Signature dishes include silver cod with faroe shrimp cream and roasted wild duck with ginger sauce. Although they are experienced with their food, FINDS is equally popular as a bar offering up signature Scandinavian vodka concoctions, champagne cocktails and a erudite selection of wine – all of which can be enjoyed in the comfort of their dazzling outdoor patio.

Judging by the amount of A-List celebs regularly passing through the Grand Hyatt, one would only expect their main entertainment venture to be second-to-none. And second-to-none it is, with the majestically atmospher...

The Cavern

Come funk it up and join the crowd in the Cavern. Having completed a futuristic renovation at the beginning of the year, this place is now the main spot for live music in Lan Kwai Fong. Although the same band plays just about every night, their cover songs are consistently good with the Filipino singers eloquently mimicking everything from the Beatles through to Elvis. The band starts unplugged (which means their electric guitars are basically just turned down – not acoustic) at 8pm - 7:30pm on Sun – and gradually build up reaching full steam at 11pm. On Fri-Sat there is a cover charge, which luckily includes a free drink.
