Hey,
I'm in hong kong on business and wanted to know what the best clubs/bars are in town. Looking for upscale, loungey type atmosphere- with an age range of early 30s. Lots of westerns would help ...

Also, any other must do's (mainly around eating and drinking but I'm not opposed to shopping/site seeing)

Thanks!

Depends what you mean by upscale.

Try Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) and Wan Chai, a lot of expats go there. Go to the tourist information office in causeway bay, exit F, or Tsim Sha Tsui and get yourself a free junk ride. There?s also tai chi, tea tasting in HK park, architectural tour etc - all this for free. Just make sure if you want to go on the junk ride to bring your passport or driving licence to prove you?re a tourist. There?s a leaflet called Kaleidoscope with all the freebies in HK. You could go to Lantau to see the big Buddha. There?s so much to do it's going to take me weeks to list them all.

As for food you can try Maxim at the City Hall by the Queen?s pier - but get there before 3pm. For hot pot, try Tanyoto in Wan Chai, exit A3 ? it?s on the left hand side, just look up. If you?re feeling a little adventurous, try Tin Hau hotpot - you eat it in an alley off Mercury Street, which again comes off King?s road. It?s about 5 minutes walk from Tin Hau station exit A1. They don?t open until 7pm.

Or ? you could always try to get a ticket for the HK Sevens in town this week. It?s THE party of the year for most HK expats.
