What a train wreck LKF has become. The Saturday we visited it was reasonably busy. A young to underage young crowd, which is OK. The thing that annoys me most about this bar area is the bars are all dirty, the drink way overpriced and the scene decidedly grubby. There’s much better ways to do social drinking areas than this cess pit style. The smaller street approaches in Soho and SYP are good examples.
LKF bars. You need to do a radical rethink of what will keep people coming back and healthy and safe. With good value and fun times. At the moment, it’s awful.

The whole area has been priced out of average person's reach. Eateries, bars, everything charges exorbitant prices. New areas around Kowloon (Jordan Ferry) much nicer and budgeted for ordinary people like us.

If you like 2 star food at 5 star prices, LKF is your place. It's a tourist trap. Owners pay very little attention to the culinary experience as the cash cow is the alcohol business.
The crowd has turned into a popular drug and prostitution gathering where the tourists are at risk. The downfall of LKF is the selling of alcohol at 7-11. In the past the the prices of LKF, kept out the vagrants but now, anyone can say they were at LKF.

Pros:
Variety of bars, clubs and shisha lounges to explore from.
Transportation is conveniently accessible (i.e. midnight buses, minibus to Mong Kok, can grab a taxi almost anywhere).
If you're on a budget, you can settle for club 7-Eleven.
Lively atmosphere during Fridays and Saturdays as well as on public holidays and festivals.
Cons:
Could feel like you're in a sauna when the club is overcrowded.
Sometimes the may bouncers may rip you off of your money for their own benefits.
Some of the bars and clubs add a lot of ice to their drinks and you may not get what you paid for.
The atmosphere is quite different from what it used to be.

Lan Kwai Fong (known as LKF) used to be a bustling area full of locals and tourists alike. It’s known for music playing in the streets, amazing restaurants, people drinking and dancing while roaming establishments and some of the best bands in the world but it has taken a major hit. Compared to last year, a shop owner told us sales are down more than. 60% and I believe it...the streets were bare and most places empty at 10pm on a Saturday night. It’s worth checking out in any trip to HK but it’s not what it used to be and I hope it comes back.

Popular among both tourists and local people, Lan Kwai Fong used to beHong Kong’s premier nightlife destination. While there’s no shortage of bars, clubs and restaurants on these well-trodden streets, a few pointers will help you reassess wether you should waste your time coming here or not. Bars and restaurants in Lan Kwai Fong change al the time due to the high rent, yet you can still find some places for cocktails, city views or late nights on the dance floor.
The whole area is very dirty and rundown. Bar designs are cheesy, ugly and of no quality but the costs of drinks and food are appallingly high. Recently there are a lot of police forces and fences because of the protests. Both police and protesters wearing black and masks can look intimidating and you definitely won't feel safe walking around. The pleasure of drinking and hanging out is hence diminished by the strange conflicting atmosphere.
LKF has become a new seedy place. There are many nice new hip and trendy areas to eat and drink such as Kennedy Town, Sheung Wan and Sai Ying Pun. Do not waste time to go to LKF. Not worth it. People do not come here anymore. There are times I pass through LKF and found it like a ghost town. Yet rat alley in LKF offer a great range of exotic cuisines such as Thai, Malaysian, Nepalese, and other South East Asian food.

A good place to start the night in Hong Kong. I considered it average as it´s kind of like the same as any major Asian city, however, it´s the place to start the night.

super busy at weekends - so if you want crowds it is the place to go - weeknights much more quiet. Halloween is the craziest night with the biggest crowds and lots of people dressed up.

Anyone know what the legal drinking age is in LKF?

You can drink at 18 (legal) - In HK they are not really strict about serving alcohol. In most places they don't even check IDS

Hi. Get a map first. Jump on the Airport Express train and get off at Central and at the MTR Station there will be directions. Its a short walk albeit uphill to the Mid-Levels. If unsure ask at the MTR Kiosk who are always helpful. Enjoy yur stop over.
Best wishes. Frank
How to go to D’Aguilar St LKF from the Airport? Thank you!

Hi, I didn't go from the airport. You can catch a cab from the airport or the high speed train to Hong Kong Island and can catch a cap from there

Hi, I’m told there is good Brazilian restaurant in this area. Does anyone know the name of it please

Yes, I agree with others, most likely your recommendation is for Braza Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse located at 3/F, Grand Progress Building, No.15-16 Lan Kwai Fong. Walking distance from Central or Admiralty MTR stations or the Conrad / Island Shangri-La across the Park.
Personally, not sure why anyone would want to eat Western or LatAm (even good steak) when in SE Asia when so much excellent local food to choose from. Plenty of excellent Dim Sum restaurants around Lan Kwai Fong.

How do I get back to Sheung Shui (new territories) after a night out in LKF, with no MTR at this time? Prices would be helpful too.

I'm trying to find the area to visit the 'Travelator' which goes uphill and you can walk off at various levels to visit restaurants. I think it is close to Hollywood Rd on HK island and my husband thinks it is on Kowloon...Can you help please?
