This fun, tucked away alley bar Wan Chai is far cry from the usual Wan Chai pick up spots. It's festive, convivial atmosphere attracts a cool crowd and the set up encourages socialising making it a great spot to meet someone. Or, at the very least, make some new friends.

If all else fails, ignore everything that we've said up until this point and jump on the bandwagon. Despite it's rep as a hump and dump wasteland, we also know plenty of success stories that started with Tinder.
