Bar Hopping in Hong Kong (Wanchai)
Bottoms Up has just moved into Wanchai, giving up their premises at Tsim Sha Tsui. Famous for topless hostess and its appearance on Man with the Golden Gun James Bond movie, this is a safe place to have a beer. Hostess drinks is HKD99 compared to over HKD200 at similar go-go bars in the area. Some go-go bars have the reputation of intimidating the uninitiated with exorbitant fees. Bottoms Up is open from 6pm.
Neptune II is becoming a mini Thailand. "Mature" ladies (mid twenties) who can't make it in Thailand end up here. About 20% of the population are good looking. However, their asking price of HKD1,500 for a short night out is far higher than market place in Thailand. Beer is HKD38, ladies drink typically doubles that. Best time to look around is between 11pm and 2am.
After midnight, some of the girls will migrate to Fenwick. Home to filipinas and silicone impregnated Thais, Fenwick is a large fish tank. Good looking chinese girls from Beijing, Shanghai (tall slender type) will show up about 3am, if they fail to find business elsewhere. From time to time, some Colombians will work the crowd. They are passionate lovers and worth the HKD1,500. Fenwick has a good live band with disco music during intervals. Beer goes for HKD35. Best time to mingle around is between midnight and 3am.
By 4am, most of the crowd would go to Strawberry. This is the last stopover for most girls. Assuming you can still keep your sanity from all that drinking, Strawberry is the best place to haggle on prices. Girls that have not secured any business would be more willing to take a lower price (HKD1,000 or less). Beer however is HKD52, preying on your vulnerability. The party can last till 8am, although most people would make their exit by 7am.
Wanchai is the answer to insomnia nights.
