Carnegies is one of the most popular Wanchai establishments, it pulls in a varied crowd to its different events, such as the free vodka night on Tuesdays from 10pm-11pm and Ladies' nightson Wednesday from 9pm. Carnegie's has special promotions every night ranging from All-Night Happy Hour on Sundays, to free Champagne for the ladies on Wednesday nights, to HK$10 (US$1.30) vodkas on Tuesday night. The promotions change but every night, after 9pm, you can get a price break on something. Not that Happy Hour Prices are that bad at HK$28 (US$3.60) for most drinks. Happy Hour runs from 5 to 9pm. They serve complimentary hot snacks from 7 to 9pm. They usually serve cut-up sausages, spring rolls, samosas, french fries, and chicken strips. No limit on how many you can appropriate. They have a surprisingly extensive food menu with snacks, pub grub, sandwiches, pasta, Asian food, day-long breakfast, and even a few main dishes for the truly hungry. They also feature about 100+ different types of shooters. You can dance on the bar, literally, to the sounds of great live music#rock, blues and folk#and sample an extensive list of shooters, though not at the same time, unless you possess uncanny balancing skills. Around 9:30 or 10pm the bar dancing begins. Anyone can get up on the bar and dance. There are brass rails to keep the more enthusiastic of the dancers from raining down on the bartenders. The music, sometimes played by a DJ, is 100% Rock and Roll like the Eagles and Springsteen, much of it is Classic. The owners also have local bands in from time to time and are noted for their support of local musicians.
