The location is "Disco Disco" (abbreviation: D D) opened in 1978 at the basement of No. 40 D'Aguilar Street, Lan Kwai Fong, Central, and closed in 1986.

The current location is Volar Club. Basement, Holley Commercial Building, 38-44 D'Aguilar Street, Lan Kwai Fong, Central.

On December 23, 1978, DISCO DISCO was opened by Gordon Huthart, the son of the director of Lane Crawford. DISCO DISCO was called Hong Kong's STUDIO 54 (a legendary club in New York City, USA), and Gordon Huthart was also known as "Hong Kong's real Lan Kwai Fong". "Father", he indeed opened a nightclub in Lan Kwai Fong earlier than Sheng Zhiwen, bringing the culture of nightlife in Central.

The opening of DISCO DISCO coincided with the upsurge of the music movie "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER". DISCO DISCO instantly became a hot spot in the night, famous for its avant-garde and stylish style. No wonder MADONNA, SEX PISTOLS and ANDY WARHOL visited once. DISCO DISCO also welcomes the gay community, it can be said to be the pioneer of gay bars in Hong Kong.

Admission is $40 on Fridays and Saturdays, including two drinks.

Chen Baiqiang was seen from time to time in DISCO in Hong Kong back then. Picture 12 was taken at DISCO DISCO in Central in 1981. Behind Chen Baiqiang is Medello, the king of dancers, wearing a red shirt. Rowan and Leslie Cheung were also regular customers of DD, and they all dress up very stylishly. (Imagine finding Rowan dancing next to you while listening to laser beams at DISCO!)

DISCO DISCO

於1978年12月23日,由連卡佛總監的兒子GORDON HUTHART開設,DISCO DISCO當時堪稱為香港的STUDIO 54 (美國紐約市的傳奇俱樂部),GORDON HUTHART亦被譽為「香港真正蘭桂坊之父」,他確實比盛智文更早在蘭桂坊開辦夜店,帶起中環夜生活的文化。DISCO DISCO開幕之時正值音樂電影《週末狂熱》(SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER) 的熱潮,DISCO DISCO瞬即成為夜蒲熱點,以前衛有型的風格聞名,難怪MADONNA、SEX PISTOLS和ANDY WARHOL訪港亦曾經來過DISCO DISCO,DISCO DISCO亦歡迎同志社群,可說是香港同志酒吧的先行者。

星期五和六入場費$40 ,還包兩杯飲品。

當年在香港的DISCO不時會見到陳百強的身影。這照片(圖12)拍於1981年中環的DISCO DISCO,後面穿紅背心的是舞王麥德羅,羅文和張國榮亦是DD的常客,而且都會刻意打扮得很有型。(想像在DISCO聽著激光中時發現在你旁邊跳舞的是羅文!)
