Popular, stylish karaoke & dance bar in Kowloon that attracts bears and their friends.

On the last Saturday of each month, karaoke is replaced by a DJ for a dance party night. A great place to hang out any night of the week but particularly busy on Friday and Saturday (standing room only!). Happy hour between 7-9pm. MRT – Jordon (Exit C1)
