And the feeling’s right! Ladies’ Night is very much alive and kicking in Hong Kong, and despite it being one of the most expensive cities in the world to wine and dine in, you can still wind up drinking for free – if you know where to look... and you’re a woman! Sorry lads. We won’t tease you any longer ladies, here’s where to find free booze in the 852.
Carnegie’s
This Wan Chai mainstay is famous for its freebie vodka sprites which are served after 9pm on Wednesday nights. A few of these and you’ll have just enough Dutch courage to get you up dancing on the bar. Go on, admit it, we’ve all been there!
Carnegie’s, G/F, 53-55 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai
Ophelia
If you love spirits and well, peacocks, then this fantastical Ashley Sutton bar is the place to be between 8.30pm and 10.30pm on a Wednesday night. Sip on free-flow vodka and gin with mixers while watching burlesque showgirl performances and shaking your tail feather. Magic!
