Go East

In Tsim Sha Tsui, where many bars open until 7am, it's best to start off slowly. Take a stroll along the harbour through the Avenue of the Stars to the redeveloped Tsim Sha Tsui East promenade. Along the way stop at the casual Deck N Beer, and take note of the concrete steps along the waterfront; if you find yourself coming back this way in the wee hours, these are some of the best places to catch the sunrise over the city.

Purists may quibble that the promenade is technically not in TST, but crossing the water without checking out this newly bustling bar street would be a seriously amateur move. Stop by Ra Restaurant and Lounge, an Egyptian restaurant and hookah joint where you can get massive pineapple mojitos served in beer steins. After Ra it's worth walking along the promenade and checking out the live bands and drink specials at the other bars along the water.
