I mean, when I think about it, Darth Sidious/Vader must have had something more interesting to do with their time than moping about and doing evil stuff. Did they even do anything? Space graffiti, space volunteering, space Tinder?
Did the Sith have like, any hobbies at all?

Once you gain power you spend the rest of your life trying to keep it.
I think the Sith only get pleasure in seeking galactic domination and eradicating the Jedi. Hobbies are for lesser creatures.
One of the reasons the Thrawn Trilogy is so great - that scene of Thrawn recruiting C'Baoth, and offering him untold power - and C'Baoth says that Palps had been an idiot for obsessing over the control of millions of beings he'd never even try to meet, whereas he himself was experiencing real power by simply micro-managing the hell out of a village, and its petty squabbles between neighbors. 
Anyhow, I have my theories as to the perversions Palps probably got into in his spare time, but I don't expect the new canon's Disney overlords to allow any such intimations...

Do the Sith have hobbies?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But what happens when they've obtained galactic dominations and all the Jedi are eradicated? Though, those sound like fun hobbies right there.
In all seriousness, these type of questions hinge on the presumption that Star Wars characters are meant to be well-rounded and realistic - not shallow good or evil stereotypes.
Luke Skywalker is probably the ONLY Star Wars character that has been given any real depth, and that took 5 films to achieve.

Palpatine was into seeing Opera. He studied Sith and Jedi secrets in private.
Maul was too obsessed to have hobbies that didn't farther his goals, though running a criminal organization seems to have become his hobby while revenge was his job.
Dooku's hobby seemed to by trying to get a good nights sleep since he was needed so often during the war.
Vader.....he's do so much going on that I don't think he has time for a hobby that isn't "trying to breath like a human".

The Sith always go mad for oratory and storytelling.

You spend the rest of your life securing the resources and allies to maintain that power based. And, at the same time you are planning those people to attempt to kill you.
Force knitting. Totally a thing. Tarkin got a sweater from Palpatine every Christmas.
Let it be canon from here on out.

Palpatine in his youth enjoyed racing, speeders and swoop bikes if memory serves. Then he pretty much devoted himself to the force, and politics. Jedi too for that matter don't seem to take much time for hobbies, the pursuit of their religion seems to occupy all their time. Seems to be a boring life. Jedi might take time for themselves, but Sith seem to enjoy depriving themselves of things to fuel their hatred. So...I guess depravity is their hobby?
Bacta baths seem to be Vader's one pleasure. In Shadows of the Empire he was busy trying to heal himself, but whenever he would get joy out of some progress he would relapse.

Only in the special edition.
Did they have a golden snitch pattern over the chest?
