Set in Lok Hing Lane Park, surrounded by tall buildings and tall trees, Yum La’s exterior walls are painted by a different artist every two months. A rare mix of locals and ex-pats frequent this laid-back club and bar – seen as a welcome antidote to the mainstream nightlife. Yum La’s idealist owner does it for the love of the music, an eclectic mix of dance tunes, unpretentious and non-conformist, attracting a similar crowd.
Regulars tout it as the best bar in Hong Kong. Wednesday’s extended Happy Hour pulls in the crowds, so come early. Look for the triangular windows. Free entry (except 11pm-4am Fri&Sat, includes first drink). Mon-Thurs: 5pm-2am, Fri-Sat: 5pm-4am, Sun: 7pm-2am.
Lower Basement, Harilela House, 79 Wyndham Street, Hong Kong
