    alternative Friday nights out

    Stop doing the same old dinner and a movie, or drinks in LKF, and try something new and interesting next Friday night. There’s something for everybody in this list, so next Friday could be your time to shine in a karaoke session, doing the Lindy hop, or showing what you’ve got on the (crazy) golf course. Either way, there’s no shortage of a good time with these alternative ways to spend Friday night in Hong Kong.

    Looking for more fun and interesting things to do in Hong Kong? Check out our what’s on guides here.

    Just Dance

    You’ve been saying for ever that you want to learn how to swing dance, or maybe your salsa moves are stiff, but whatever the reason, Friday nights are for dancing! And we don’t mean elbow to elbow under strobe lights in a crowded club. Make it an entertaining night and learn some new moves with a dance class. There’s options for singles to show up and meet others, or signing up with friends.

    Hong Kong Swings
    Hong Kong Swings

    Hong Kong Swings does a Friday night social at STEAM Cafe where you can take a class from 8.00pm to 9.00pm and stay for the party afterwards, to test your skills and mingle until midnight.

    Where: STEAM Cafe, 4/F, Si Toi Commercial Building, 62-63 Connaught Road West, Sheung Wan

    Contact: [email protected]

    Polynesian dancing at Oasis Dance Center
    Polynesian dancing at Oasis Dance Center

    Swing too mainstream for you? Polynesian dancing may be right up your alley, then. Learn Tahitian dance techniques and graceful hula movements with the lovely ladies at Oasis Dance Centre. Classes take place Fridays from 7.15pm to 8.15pm and are suitable for all levels. Sway along with the movements and ukulele melodies for a very different night of dancing.

    Where: 4/F, Anton Building, 1 Anton Street, Wan Chai

    Contact: 2522 6698 or [email protected]

    Billy Chan Dance Concepts

    Grab your baggy trousers and head to Billy Chan Dance Concepts (BCDC) for some hip hop. They’ve been teaching the basics since 1999 and on Fridays they offer two classes geared toward people with no dance background: ‘Hip Hop Intro’ class from 6.15pm to 7.45 or ‘Girls´ Hip Hop Intro’ class from 7.45pm to 9.15pm.

    Where: Room D, 5/F, On Fook Industrial Building, 41 Kwai Fung Crescent, Kwai Chung

    Contact: 2398 2663 or [email protected]

    Pole dancing class

    Unleash your naughty side and flexibility with a pole dance class – they’re not just for hen nights. It’s fun, it’s excellent for fitness, and it’s definitely something you and your friends will talk about afterwards. Melody Pole Studio is run by two-time Hong Kong Pole Champion Melody Rose and has classes at studios in Lai Chi Kok and Kwun Tong. Learn the simple movements of beginner pole work (7.45pm at Lai Chi Kok, 8.45pm at Kwun Tong) or try something even more exotic – lap dance techniques (7.45pm at Kwun Tong).

    Dinner With a Side of Art

    Gitone Private Kitchen
    Gitone Private Kitchen

    Next Friday night, don’t queue up for a table at the same old restaurant, go private. Private kitchens have been popping up around HK for awhile now, and are only increasing in popularity.

    One that does a different spin on private dining is Gitone, which incorporates art with your meal. Guests sit among Terence Lee’s (founder chairman of the Contemporary Ceramic Society of Hong Kong) wonderful collection of fine art and ceramics, with warm classical music playing in the background, and eat from an eclectic Asian menu. Take an art class before or after your meal and bring home something more than a full belly – an original work of art.

    Where: G/F, 27-28,45 Tai Hong Street, Lee King Wan, Sai Wan Ho

    Wan Chai with a Haunted Twist

    Haunted Wan Chai

    Instead of doing a Wan Chai pub crawl and paying for it the next day, see another side of the district via a haunted tour.

    Yes, what is today a hub for entertainment, bars and eateries was once an entirely different place, with a spooky edge. Wan Chai was one of Hong Kong’s earliest settlements, so there’s a ton of history to uncover, one that includes mysterious tales and chilling myths. Viva Blue House will take you through parts of the area to reveal its hidden past, but plan this Friday night accordingly: the 2-hour tour (7.00pm to 9.00pm) must be booked one month in advance.

    Where: G/F, No 72A Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai

    A night at the (Chinese) opera

    Chinese Opera

    Despite what you may have heard, Chinese opera is not all shrill melodies and lengthy plots. It comes in many forms and varied styles, and is something you should mark off your Hong Kong cultural checklist.

    Yau Ma Tei Theatre and Ko Shan Theatre have regular performances, including on Friday nights. You don’t even need to understand Cantonese to enjoy them, as the shows are quite entertaining, with colourful costumes and extravagant sets to make up for the language barrier. Then there’s that famously unique singing style, which is bound to be a conversation topic during post-opera wine.

    Where: Yau Ma Tei Theatre– 1/F, Red Brick Building, 8 Waterloo Road, Kowloon; Ko Shan Theatre – 77 Ko Shan Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon

    Break Out in Song

    It can be painful having to witness a stranger warbling through some bad pop songs, but a planned night of karaoke with a group of friends can make for a hilarious Friday evening.

    Sonder Hong Kong Karaoke

    Neway Hong Kong

    You’ve most likely walked by a Neway – they’re everywhere – and they’ve been letting Hong Kongers sing their hearts out for more than 20 years.

    Where: Various locations

    Reel them in

    Leave the stilettos at home, you’re going fishing! Squid fishing, to be exact. It’s a popular Hong Kong past time, in case you didn’t know, and it’s only done at night in the summer. Jubilee tours takes you aboard their boat on Fridays at 7.00pm (pick-up is from various piers) on a four-hour squid fishing adventure. They provide the fishing tools and even dinner, which in this case are the slippery suckers you fish out from the water. But if you prefer something different, there’s also a Vietnamese-style buffet on board.

    Where: Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Kowloon City, Kwun Tong, Shau Kei Wan, Sai Kung or Aberdeen piers

    Ride a ding ding without the mass of sweaty passengers clamouring for a seat. Instead do it in style with a bunch of pals on a party tram!

    old fashioned tram in Hong Kong

    Fun and Games

    strokes
    Strokes

    Go old school for a night with some fun and games. We’re talking crazy golf, laser tag, go-karting and running around in giant inflatable balls while kicking a soccer ball about. Sound amusing?

    Strokes provides crazy golf in a retro setting, with daily happy hour from 4-8pm. It’s not just a game locale, it’s a ‘crazy golf and lifestyle club’, a roomy 9,000-sq ft space with a bar/restaurant and two 9-hole courses. When you’re not putting, chill in the lounge with an artisan cocktail and something ‘green’ or ‘guilty’ from the food menu.

    Crossfire Arena
    Crossfire Arena

    There’s an abundance of fun in the dark at Crossfire Arena, where the theme is neon. The party event venue is bathed in atmospheric neon FX lighting, providing a cool ambiance for playing a variety of lively activities like archery tag, laser tag, dodgeball, neon sabres and bubble soccer. They provide catering too, for a minimum of 20 people, or up to 300 if you’re that popular.

    There’s no way you won’t break out into a fit of giggles during a night of go-karting. Speedway Diner doubles as a go-kart venue and an American-style diner, so after whipping around the large indoor track, you can tuck into classic burgers, hot dogs, pizza, milkshakes, the works.

    Where: 4/F, Kowloon City Plaza, 28 Carpenter Road, Kowloon City

    Contact: 2718 2272

    Crazy Car Cafe Hong Kong

    Crazy Car Cafe has a smaller track but no matter, you’re not doing it for speed. However, you may find your competitive side come out as you try and whip around the curves in your tiny vehicle. The cafe is race-car themed, which means the food (simple pastas, salads, sandwiches and desserts) comes adorned with mini checkered flags.

    Where: D2 Place Two, 2/F, Unit 205-211A, 214 Lai Chi Kok
