Little Cozy French Dance Place

Tucked away down a tiny side street, gecko is a great place for private parties (birthday party) and cozzy after-dinner watering hole. It's the in-the-know locals' favourite. Chill-out in cosy sofas on weekday evenings with piano music, jamming sessions, or live jazz. Weekends get raucous with DJs spinning electronic dance beats.

The owner, Chris, is French. So, there're lots of French people hang out here. The crowds are usually non pretensious. No dress code here. Services are friendly. Drinks are a bit pricey (HK$70 for a house pour) but the DJ know how to work the crowd, espcially after midnight.
