If you’re looking to have a great time and conquer the\u00a0best happy hour deals<\/a>, there are a wide range of nightclubs<\/a>,\u00a0gay bars<\/a>, and rooftop bars<\/a> in Hong Kong. However, if you want to grab some cocktails and food somewhere a bit more low-key, these cosy and welcoming dive bars in Wan Chai would suit your taste. Offering great drinks, tasty food, and live music, it\u2019s guaranteed to be a great night.<\/p>\n

Check out these lovely dive bars in Wan Chai<\/h2>\n

1. Thaiwan<\/h3>\n

This neighbourhood dive bar on the calmer side of Ship Street looks like a hip Taipei bar, with its exposed concrete walls and a corrugated sheet metal bar painted in a brilliant red. The delightful d\u00e9cor, displaying Taiwanese and Thai traditional ornaments, reflects the quirky sensibilities of Erik from Taiwan and Debbie from Thailand. The husband-and-wife team runs this casual and cosy bar with a well-curated beer selection that you can enjoy with the best Taiwanese sausages and Thai snacks in town.<\/p>\n

2. Tai Lung Fung<\/h3>\n

The vibes at Tai Lung Fung are relaxed and friendly, and the quirky design makes it a popular hangout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The design at Tai Lung Fung \u00a0starts from the street front, where visitors are greeted by a funky neon sign. Surrounded by old movie posters and vintage toys from the 60s, walking into this dimly lit, red-hued bar is like travelling back in time. With a tasty cocktail made by one of the many lovely bar staff, you will feel nostalgic for the romantic yesteryear of old Hong Kong. It\u2019s the perfect place to hang out with some friends over skewers and cheap drinks.<\/p>\n

3. Shack Tapazaka<\/h3>\n

While technically in Causeway Bay, we just had to add Shack Tapazaka to our list. An exposed, black-iron clad exterior gives the dive bar a cool vibe, while inside they have a nice selection of gins, whiskies and sake that you can sample with some edamame, grilled chicken skewers and other Japanese snacks. We love that this bar offers mouthwash in the loo too, to ensure that you are always minty fresh.<\/p>\n

4. Cinta-J Restaurant & Lounge<\/h3>\n

When it comes to dive bars in Wan Chai, Cinta-J is like no other. The tables, booths, and the seating in this Filipino joint are reminiscent of an American-style diner. However, with kitschy paintings collected from different parts of Asia gracing its walls, the place looks like a Denny\u2019s that has gone rogue.<\/p>\n

At night, the stage lights up the whole place with live music and entertainment. In addition to the standard selection of drinks, Cinta-J serves a diverse selection of delicious snacks, making it the perfect venue to cap off a fun evening in Wan Chai.<\/p>\n
