7 Best Nightclubs in Hong Kong

Volar Club in the centre of Lan Kwai Fong district has stayed on the cutting edge of the dance music scene by continually reinventing itself in terms of design and musical direction.

Most nights, there are 2 separate rooms to check out in Volar, so you can jump from commercial and hip hop tunes in the main room, to more bass-heavy tracks in the house and EDM room. World-class DJs to have graced the decks at Volar include Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke and DJ Hype.

CÉ LA VI Hong Kong consists of a pumping club lounge, sky bar and fine dining restaurant, meaning you could spend a night partying up here with other socialites. 

We love that fact we can get down and party in the dance room, then head out to the terrace for a cocktail good enough to grace any of the fancy bars in SoHo. Its mixed music policy sees party pop on a Friday and bass-driven house on Saturdays.

PLAY is a nightclub popular with a local and expat crowd of fashionable elites in a vast space spanning over 6000 sq ft. The interior is chic and split up into sections tailored for each guest to determine their own experience. 

You can shake it on the dance floor or head up to the Dom Perignon champagne lounge for a little VIP pampering. The venue boasts a D&B sound system and high tech lasers. PLAY has welcomed the likes of Ciara, Skrillex, B.o.B., Sander Kleinenberg, Paul Van Dyk, Afrojack and Kaskade.

Dragon-i Hong Kong is where the bold and beautiful come to play in Hong Kong. Models, celebrities, and CEOs often frequent this lounge club – on a good night, it becomes a place where conversation flows easily and new friends are made. 

You'll need to reserve a table (which comes with a minimum spend) and ideally pop a few bottles of champagne. The design scheme is dark and chic with quirky Asian touches such as Chinese-inspired lanterns.

Drop Hong Kong attracts music lovers looking to let loose to some niche musical styles. Anything from nu-jazz, garage and classic house can be heard throughout the night, with an older crowd who typically spend their night drinking round classy bars in SoHo before heading to Drop to get a fix of something funky. 

The venue itself is very cool: straddling the line between bar and club, with small pockets of floor space to dance and chill out spots that remind us of a gentlemen’s club. The drinks list features some excellent signature cocktails as this a place where you can come to soak up a clubbing vibe without breaking into a sweat on the dancefloor.

OZONE at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is admittedly more of a lounge than a club, but you can choose a spot in the indoor section for live DJ sets of chilled, minimalist house, which you can’t help but move to. 

Most head up the 118 floors for the rooftop section, but with 2 panes of glass and limited seating, we much prefer the futuristic designs and top-end sound system found inside. OZONE is a happy medium between a pumping nightclub and an exclusive cocktail bar.

Tazmania Ballroom combines a swanky club environment with plenty of indoor games such as pool and ping pong. Its music policy gravitates around jazz, vocal house, R&B, and old-school hip-hop, which builds through the night, followed with bass-heavy tunes for the rest of the night. 

For some serious drinking with a view, head over to the outdoor terrace, which overlooks the bustling Central district of Hong Kong.
