Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug
I wanna go to college for the rest of my life, sip Banker’s Club, and drink Miller Lite…
Okay, (for some of us) long gone are the days of university where drinking games were a pre-night out staple, and if you refused to skull the last king during Ring of Fire you were automatically assigned ‘four fingers’ as penance. Even though we may not be as willing to down everything but the kitchen sink these days, we still love a good game of beer pong if the occasion should arise. And whenever somebody busts out those iconic red cups, it’s game on and suddenly we’re all beating our chests, chanting ‘down it‘ as another ping-pong ball splashes into a another cup of Tsing Tao. Sound familiar? It’s time to re-live your glory days with these top beer pong bars in Hong Kong…
Billidart
A casual all-American style restaurant, Billidart serves a wide range of food and drink and a good dose of competitive spirit. From American pool to darts, their beer pong tables have been specially designed to fit the cups and the rules (elbows behind the table, ladies!).

Obviously beer and burgers go hand in hand, so throw in a few games of beer pong and you’re having the best Thursday night of your life – it’s the new Friday, after all. Boomshack’s weekly beer pong nights reserve the centre tables for teams of up to five to battle it out in a bid for ultimate glory – loser has all the regret come Friday morning.

Arena Bar
If you’re looking for a few cold ones after work, Arena Bar is to the go-to for live sport, darts, flip cup (oh yeah!) and of course, beer pong. Catch the game and kill time between the adverts with a couple of rounds of pong. Alternatively if you’re on a mad one, make friends with their award-winning cocktail mixologists and get those beer taps pouring – it’s go time.

Scratch
Live sport, DJs on the decks and pool tables that’ll transform into a game of pong at the flick of tarpaulin. If you find yourself getting a little tired of dancing on the street to Livin’ On A Prayer (still a tune, though), then head to Scratch for games and a spot of beer chugging.
