Hong Kong’s 1980s nightlife culture dazzles again at old Club Bboss site
A new nightclub called Big Boss Generation (BBG) has opened in the exact spot where Hong Kong’s legendary Club Bboss once thrived, reviving the glitz and nostalgia of the city’s 1980s nightlife scene. Spanning 56,000 square feet in Tsim Sha Tsui East, BBG aims to lure both tourists and younger crowds curious about the golden era of clubbing—complete with the original club’s Chinese name for an extra dose of throwback charm.
Editor’s Note: Hong Kong’s nightlife isn’t just about the present—it’s also about celebrating its iconic past. By resurrecting the spirit of Club Bboss, BBG taps into a cultural moment where nostalgia meets modern party culture, offering a fresh way to experience the city’s history while keeping its nightlife scene vibrant. For locals and visitors alike, it’s a chance to dance through time.
