The Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur is a prime example of a dynamic city in which diverse entertainment philosophies can co-exist as one. Littered with funky nightclubs, exclusive beach bars, fantastic restaurants and entertainment venues, this bustling Asian metropolis is a buzzing night time hot spot once the sun goes down. The sheer diversity of night-time attractions and activities is a testament to the country’s equally diverse population and its unwavering commitment to being a tolerant and engaging society.

The main night time hotspots in KL are concentrated in areas such as Bukit Bintang in the golden triangle, Klang Valley which includes Bangsar, the Asian Heritage Row and Chinatown. The glamorous night scene in Bukit Bintang mainly exists along Changkat Bukit Bintang which is jam packed with cosy pubs and drinking holes as well as restaurants that convert in to trendy nightclubs as the night wears on. Highlights include Havana Bar & Grill, Envie and Frangipani which are always buzzing with throngs of patrons.

Hot picks down Chinatown include the Night Market which is a shopaholic’s and food lover’s dream come true with scrumptious meals and bargains galore at every turn. The Reggae Bar & Guest House is another favourite among frequent visitors who love the pool tables and laid back atmosphere in this popular hangout for tourists. The Beatles Bar is a retro pub with all of the Liverpool iconic band’s hit tunes and beer. Absolute Chemistry, The Social, Ronnie Q’s and Gas Works are some of Bangsar’s popular venues while Vintages with its award -winning fine wines is a wine connoisseurs’ haven.

The Scarlet, the Sanctuary, Euphoria and the Laundry Bar are Petaling Jaya’s preferred nightspots. On the other hand although the elegant establishments located down Asian Heritage Row, Bar Savanh, Mojo and W Wine Room are frequent stopovers for tourists and locals alike, the three nightclubs in KL’s The Loft, namely Cynna, Upstairs and SPACE also offer top of the line entertainment and energetic atmospheres. The Sunshine Classic Bar and Blanc le Club are also other night spots of interest in the Heritage Row in addition to Ivy, Kristao and Tokyo Tei/Mezza Notte.
