CLOSURE NOTICE- HALO WAS CLOSED ON JANUARY 8TH, 2012
September 11th, 2011
HALO is a discreetly luxurious lounge occupying a basement space in close proximity to the busy Hong Kong nightlife area of Lan Kwai Fong. HALO was opened in 2007 by the same group that own and operate other highly rated Hong Kong clubs VOLAR and FLY, and the more recent acclaimed bar and restaurant LILY & BLOOM. As an essentially “members-only” lounge, HALO does not broadcast its presence to the passing crowds, and entry to the lower ground floor space is via a passageway lined with translucent black glass and stainless steel. There are no burly security guards manning the entrance- guest entry is discreetly controlled by hi-tech face-recognition technology.
The entrance to HALO
The design for HALO was conceived by internationally renowned Japanese designer Hirouki Matsunaka, his signature style being the combination of state-of- the- art materials with classical design elements and icons. With HALO, he has created a sleek and sophisticated underground space that cleverly blends the luxury of a classical European chateau with the sleek modernity of contemporary design. The space is divided symmetrically by a curving main bar into two distinctly themed zones- on one side the timeless elegance of the Library and Living Room with plush leather sofas and armchairs, timber parquetry flooring, crystal chandeliers and erotic black & white framed photographs. On the other side of the bar is the Garden room- the curved space features stone tiled flooring, a green wall of vegetation, and an eclectic combination of furnishings to create the essence of a chateau terrace by night. The Garden room is where the nightly live music performances are conducted.

The Garden Room
HALO serves a selection of delectable light refreshments- specialties include French fries coated with white truffle oil and parmigiano reggiano; mini Angus sirloin burgers with melted brie, baby spinach and vine ripened cherry tomatoes; and chocolate macaroon chips with raspberry sorbet. The bar offers a range of creative cocktails, plus the classic cocktails, and a full selection of premium spirits, wines and champagnes.
The Bar
The music style at HALO is consistent with the the discrete exclusiveness and luxury of the lounge- the vibe is mostly at the chilled out, relaxing end of the scale, with nightly themed live performances including “acoustic” performances, “Jazz Jam” and “HALO-oke”. The event nights are regularly updated on HALO’s Facebook page.
The Garden Room- Acoustic performance
In addition to the featured rooms detailed above, HALO also has some smaller, uniquely styled rooms for the ultimate privacy when entertaining guests.
