Knutsford Terrace
Near the miramar hotel is perhaps best described as the 'lang kwai fong' of kowloon, and has a large number of bars and restaurants of variable quality that cater for mid-range budgets. a little smaller and less phrenetic than lan kwai fong, but well worth the effort to poke your nose along this narrow street on a saturday evening.
P.J. Murphy's
A couple of blocks north on Nathan Road from Ocean Terminal between Salisbury Road and Mody Road. Murphy's Bar is a western-style Hong Kong drinking establishment. Enjoy a Guinness with a perfect pour. Throw your tips through the dart board behind the bar.
Biergarten
This friendly German bar is one of the few places in Kowloon where you can find a good range of quality beers. Excellent German food is served â not just sausages and sauerkraut. Use Exit N2 at East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.
Ashley Road
Between nathan road and the ocean terminal shopping mall, features many western restaurants and bars.
Hutong
Hutong is a great place to get a good view of Hong Kong from the top floor of a business building. It's a Michelin starred restaurant with amazing food â try the signature crispy lamb breast with garlic and ginger.
Drinking areas:
Mody Road/Centenial Garden
Close to many good hotels, this area of tsim sha tsui offers a more relaxed environment for a drink. here you will find bars and restaurants spilling out onto the pavement. leave east tsim sha tsui station at exit p1, and head past the kowloon shangri-la hotel.
Be wary of entering the girlie bars scattered around the southern tip of Tsim Sha Tsui. Their entrances are usually decorated with photos of women in various stages of undress. Strip bars are not popular with locals for good reason. There are reports of these places being owned by rough people, even triads, and may place unexpected exorbitant charges on your tab such as a fee to talk to a girl. They may even escort you to an ATM if you don't have enough cash. The days of Suzie Wong has long passed. Entering these places is highly not-recommended.
Hostess Clubs
Aqua
Nearby at the top of the 1 Peking Road office building is an alternative and less touristy spot with equally impressive views. As well as a bar, they have a Japanese and Italian restaurant for those without a budget.
Notable watering holes:

Between prince edward road and boundary street, is one of kowloon's up-and-coming bar strips. few tourists or expats venture here, but there are nearly two dozen bars. some specialize in karaoke while others have open fronts and extensive drink menus. prince edward mtr, exit a.
