Open gay bars

Each year has a theme with a dress code, the most recent being “Pride Rainbow.” Dates: 2026 to be announced.

Pink Dot Hong Kong – This annual event began in 2009 in Singapore to support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. Do note that Hong Kong was a British Colony until 1997, so it has a lot of contrasts to mainland China with more Western and European values.

Try one of their signature dishes like seasonal sashimi, grilled octopus on potato confit with ginger soy, or the delicious yaki udon with snow crab and crab miso butter.

Little Bao – “Bao Burgers” are legendary throughout Hong Kong, if not the whole world. If you visit on the weekends, get ready for the tables to be moved to the side and for the dance floor to fill – everyone is welcome to join for a good time!

Strap on your most comfortable walking shoes to explore the city and get ready to conquer the concrete jungle. This isn't an official gay beach, but is the top spot for gay and queer sunbathers.

Partygoers are encouraged to strip down and let loose – you can feel safe doing so because they have a strict no-photos policy, with safety stickers applied to everyone’s phone cameras on the way in. They range from the Belly Pork Bao to ice cream burgers, which shouldn’t work but somehow do. misterb&b is our top choice if your priority is exploring the local gay scene.
