Judging from the logo, which alludes to the hit television series by the same name, LOST is purposely tucked away from the street traffic. Frequented by the young, hip locals, it is not a touristy spot but still maintains an upscale, stylish decor with a two-floor lounge with sofas strewn about. The music at LOST alternates between different types of electro, such as progressive house and break beats, all spun by resident DJs. Although the club serves drinks of all kinds, it is particularly known for its "signature" champagne cocktail. Happy hour at LOST begins at 4 p.m. daily.

Established in 2004, Volar is divided into two parts, a club section and a lounge section, which together cover 5,000 square feet.

The lounge, while having an elaborate lighting system of its own, is more mellow, with numerous couches spread throughout. Volar is one of the more popular clubs in Hong Kong, bringing in around 1,000 visitors each weekend.
