Billy Boozer

On entering this location you will find that this bar seems to be distinctly different to anything else around here– the wooden beams, the plaques on the wall seem to tell of a different time. And you would be right. The Billy Boozer’s main clientele at one point in time had been British army servicemen stationed nearby at Kowloon Tong barracks (just across the road) and you can tell from the distinct design of the bar that this place would have been well suited to receive such guests.
Times have changed and the soldiers have left– the replacement clients now are mainly university students from the nearby universities (BU and CUHK) which means this place is now even more packed than it used to be. You will find that they haven’t really done much to spruce up the place and it does give you a bit of a dingy feeling. However, given the fair prices for beer towers (can’t really remember how much) and the proximity to universities nearby you will always have students flooding in.
As «European» as the bar is you will find dice games are played all round– local and exchange students alike and there is a section devoted to two darts machines out the back which tells you this place is more for fun and games than a quiet chat. I guess if you were looking for a quiet chat you wouldn’t be coming here anyways. I hear that food is served here but have never tried it and neither would I recommend any one to.
As a dark, dingy and small place to get completely plastered with your mates– you can’t beat it!
