Dancing - Electronics, Drum&Base, Breakz, Jungle...

Hide away in a backstreet between Lan Kwai Fong and Soho, Yumla is one of my favorite hangout place, possibly the coolest dance spot in town. The crowd and the music are the things that keep me going back. No pretention dress-up stuff, just good tunes and great people.

Drinks are on the pricey side, around HK$80/glass.

The door started charging covers lately, with a 'flexible' price, which is pretty much depends on how crowded is the dance floor, and how regular the customers are, and how well you know the bouncer. No entrance for flip flops or sandals, otherwise very casual.

Dance floor is very small, it's more like a bar setting than a club, but well, that's HK! You can hardly find big dance floor anyway.
