Hi everyone,

I just moved here from New York, and decided to party it up ASAP. On Wed I went to Dragon I and Club Edge, and Thursday at Hehe. One thing I noticed that most of the party goers here are quite young. 18-22? Top clubs / lounges in New York are populated by late 20s to early 30s crowd. Am I going to the wrong clubs at the wrong nights? Or should I just readjust my tastes to younger women.

No. I am only 30, not a dirty old man yet.

hey there. i just moved from new york a few months ago. drop me a message. yes in general it's a younger local crowd. but then you have older expats.

There is also the fact that many people her (women particularly) look, dress and act a lot younger than people of the same age in the west. You know Hello Kitty, that you might give to a 5 year old in the west? Well here it's really popular with 20-somethings. So those girls you think look 18 might actually be 30.

There are lots of kids back home for the summer holidays. You will notice less in September. You should have joined us on Saturday for our GeoExpat night out!

I guess PDLM put it straight and i guess it is right.... Well hook up at some of the geo expat get togethers, and meet the crowd. We have a good mix where age is not bar, but friendship is..

It's too bad that I didn't read about the Geoxpat outing until 2:00 am. I am flying back to the states this coming Saturday, do you guys meet up on the weekdays? I guess you are right about the Asian women here, they do look and act a bit younger than their western counterparts.

ah ah i am one of those hello kitty gal

You can drink here from 18yrs old aswell. None of that stupid 21 yr old stuff that you get in the states. You can legally have kids at 16 yet alcohol is a no-no!?

Often times, you will find the younger crowd in Lan Kwai. Although there are older people there.... you might want to try some bars in Wanchai

Personally, I think that age is a state of mind. If you feel uncomfortable hanging out with people because they look young, then maybe you need to re-evaluate what you are looking for. You probably are not going to find the comfort of what you already know (New York) in Hong Kong.

There are tons of places around central with an older clientele. The closest thing you are going to get to NYC club environment is Drop. You may feel right at home there.

It doesn't have a sign (very new york), it's very trendy, full of fashionistas, expats, and people who like to show their status, they have a dress code/door policy, its members only (but you can usually get in if you wait), and it stays open late.

It's hyped up just as much as Dragon-i, and it has a resiliant staying power, like Dragon-i

It's in an alley, behind the hot dog stand, just off hollywood road. Everyone knows where it is.

The other issue with HK night life is that there are only a few demographics here. There's not the variety of age groups, and social groups that you see in other cities. At least in the westernish/expat nightlife scene.
