New Wally Matt Lounge was relocated on 31st March 1999 from Cornwall Avenue to Humphrey's Avenue due to the Government's redevelopment plan. And we are still situated in a very convenient location off Nathan Road, just a short walk from Tsim Sha Tsui Mass Transit Railway (MTR) Station Exit A2.

The originally bar, Waltzing Matilda established in early 50's was known to be one of the oldest gay bars in Hong Kong. It had always been the neighbourhood bar where the locals meeting the Westerners. There was no barrier for age group or nationality that made it unique to the gay community. Over the years, some other gay bars were opened but did not survive long enough. In the early stage, Waltzing Matilda was a popular hang out place for the money boys until it was taken over and renamed to Wally Matt Lounge in 1990. Since then, the money boys disappeared and the bar became a more friendly meeting place. Such change made it almost the landmark for Hong Kong gays also because it had been the only gay bar on Kowloon side for a long time.

Owing to the needs of the market demand and IT development, we have decided to make a step forward and give ourselves a new image, THE FIRST INTERNET GAY BAR IN HONG KONG, that is to create a Web Site of our own, and install a PC at the bar with full Internet Access capability.
