Located between Repulse Bay and South Bay, and with no direct transportation stopping right at the beach, this is a secluded, tranquil spot that’s a world away from the touristy Repulse Bay. There are technically two beaches within Middle Bay; the smaller one that sits north of the main beach is more quiet, very queer, and unofficially okay with nude sunbathers.

Further down the road, South Bay also has a ‘gay section’, which is the left end of the beach.

Been there, done that? Mihn is inclusive, mysterious, and a little debauched, just how we like it.

Mum’s Not Home

The very opposite of the thumping bars in this list, Mum’s Not Home is a whimsical, plant-filled cafe in Yau Me Tei founded by partners Chow Kong-chuen and Makui Ma.

Last we heard, the couple had broken up but remain good friends and are still running this joyfully queer space decked out in colourful items, mismatched furniture, neon signs, artsy bric-a-brac, and a stunning collection of cheesecakes to enjoy.

The Pontiac

A fun spot at Old Bailey Street, grungy American-style dive bar The Pontiac is a staunch supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You can hit the dance floor early and catch their fabulous happy hour from 7 to 9 pm, featuring 2-for-1 cocktails, with a mix of LGBTQ+ locals and international tourists.

Zoo is your go-to for a stylish night out with a range of hand-crafted sophisticated and tropical cocktails. Exercise discretion in public spaces.

Language: Cantonese is the primary language spoken.

The bay is cozy and attracts locals and visitors looking to relax. There’s a wonderful al fresco vibe here as the action spills out onto the courtyard around Man Hing Lane and complementing all these are some great cocktails. Those who love spirited brunches can also look forward to their fun Drag Show Brunches every first Sunday of every month to catch Hong Kong’s popular drag queens put on a fabulous show for everyone to enjoy.

Host by 宀 Mihn

Dancers and ravers should head to 宀 Mihn Club in Sheung Wan for their monthly Host parties, which are their popular gay and lesbian nights.

Also try out Virus, which is recently a more gender-inclusive audience, but remains a haven for lesbian women. This isn't an official gay beach, but is the top spot for gay and queer sunbathers. But there's more to Hong Kong than its glittering surface. There’s also some table-top dancing on certain nights for added chaos.

Wink

Established by Tony Wong, formerly a partner at Zoo, Wink is your typical decent Hong Kong gay bar – all black, minimal and sleek, and with ballad covers of pop hits coming out of the stereo with their daily karaoke nights in the earlier part of the night.

Just remember Hong Kong is still more conservative than most other major cities in North America and Europe.

Our Top Hong Kong LGBTQ+ Travel Recommendations

The city’s distinctive LGBTQ+ scene has a few different centers after dark, including Hong Kong Island’s Central area (particularly the ex-pat nightlife hub of Lan Kwai Fong) and Causeway Bay, as well as Tsim Sha Tsui in southern Kowloon (the peninsula on the other side of Victoria Harbor,) which has even more Hong Kong gay bars!

If you like the rockabilly or biker chick vibe, then the Ponty crowd will be right up your alley – it’s giving Coyote Ugly and we honestly love it. Thankfully, they’ve rose back from the ashes under a new name, Lessy, still in the same location. Don't miss the daily happy hour, where you can indulge in delightful drinks and trendy atmosphere.

WINK is a hot spot for bisexual and gay guys in their 20s and 30s, along with other members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Compared to some areas in Asia, Hong Kong has a more open LGBTQ+ community with a variety of gay bars and LGBTQ+ events. This vibrant metropolis is not just a powerhouse of culture and finance. Here is our list of favorite LGBTQ+ spots around Hong Kong.

FLM is located on Jervois Street and is usually the gay bar that is fairly busy during the weekdays.

Finally, explore the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, which is a Buddhist temple in Sha Ti home to over 12,800 Buddha statues.

Looking for a quieter experience? At night, the place transforms into a hip club complete with adrenaline-pumping music where guests can enjoy two-for-one cocktails on Tuesdays and $200 free-flow house pours for two hours on Toxic Thursdays.

People come here for the fun vibe and affordable but award-winning cocktails. Escape the urban rush with a ferry ride to Lamma Island, where the pace slows and the beaches beckon. Think again, my friend.
