Halloween is on a Saturday this year — the Hong Kong parties worth booking before you leave the house

Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October 2026, and the rooms worth being in fill before you decide. Four to lock in first — Upper Hong Kong, FAYY, Boomerang and Social Room — then the rave nights, the concept parties and one free street party. Book now, not at the door.

Two Halloween Saturdays have already run in Lan Kwai Fong — here is what they tell you about Saturday night

Venue

dragon-i

Inside dragon-i's members' room there's a door marked 115 — the BPM the owner prefers, not a table number. That single figure says more about the 2026 rebuild than a capacity count could: one owner, one Central address, twenty-four years, and a designer he spent fourteen years choosing.

Venue

Behind the room sits a Bangkok operator that has never named a founder in public — its first address outside Thailand, eight floors up a tower that already ran two clubs.

Venue

The Old Man

Three bartenders with no financial backer built a room out of wood, brass and pineapple lamps on a SoHo side street in 2017. Two years later it was named the best bar in Asia. Nine years on, under new hands, it is still pouring.
