VOLAR occupies a large basement space of approximately 5,000 square feet, entered down a discrete staircase from the street level in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong. The space is divided into two main areas- the Lounge area and the Club area. The design is extravagantly conceived, with an entrance that is darkly seductive – leading into the semi-circular Lounge. The theme here borrows from the circus- with playful elements such as  numerous gem-studded carousel horses mounted on poles. The colors are dark with silver metal finishes, black leather lounges, and a large curved bar.

Moving further inside, the Club area is where the serious partying happens- with a powerful sound system, a series of large plasma TV mounted into one wall, and the DJ booth elevated at one end of the room.  The bar curves along one side, with bar stools and high tables placed on either side of the main dance area.
