Having been feeding the locals with mind-bending gigs for more than 25 years, The Wanch (rhymes with conch) is an institution of live music sports events coverage. This is said to be the longest running livehouse in Hong Kong. When the TVs aren't covering some major sports event local bands and international acts pump out various music genres from rock to jazz to blues. The bar offers nibbles including garlic bread and bacon butties. No cover charge any day of the week. At weekends the crowd usually spills out onto the sidewalk so expect maximum decibels, especially when matches reach a crucial point.
