Joe Bananas, Hong Kong

Joe Banana's might well be one of the most well known bars in Asia. The security is usually heavy and beautiful people in expensive shoes are everywhere, especially on the dance floor where everyone heaves together to Ricky Martin and Aqua. A strict dress code (no T-shirts, sandals or shorts) keeps out the riff-raff and attracts well-heeled party people happy to pay the HK$100 cover charge. The usual international menu offers salads, pizzas and burgers, and lunchtime deals make the prices attractive too. Happy Hour: 11.30am-10pm (two for the price of one).
