Changkat Bukit Bintang
One of the liveliest and most popular nightlife spots in Kuala Lumpur is Changkat Bukit Bintang. Here you will find many bars, restaurants, restobars, chic cocktail bars and nightclubs. Most of the bars and restaurants are located along the main high street and come to life in the evening.
Changkat Bukit Bintang is located about a 4 minute walk from Bukit Bintang MRT station and Jalan Alor, which is great for dining out. Many of the bars play loud music ranging from hip-hop to electro dance, Latin American, funk, jazz and popular music. A popular Irish bar on this street is called Healy Mac’s, where you can take a seat outside and survey the surrounding local bars, watch the video screens dotted around the place, or enjoy some banter with the locals or other travellers.
Jalan Alor
Jalan Alor is one of the most popular areas in Kuala Lumpur for eating out al fresco. Here you will find many street food restaurants, complete with outside seating areas, offering Malaysian, Chinese, Thai and seafood at very reasonable prices. Menus are provided in Chinese and English, but don’t be afraid of asking the waiters for recommendations.
Some of the most popular restaurants are at the top of the high street, but if you prefer Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, take a wander down the street until you find somewhere that meets your preference. Jalan Alor is worth at least a couple of trips on your visit to Kuala Lumpur, which will enable you to experience the huge diversity of food on offer here.
Sky Bar
Located on the 33rd floor of the Traders Hotel, adjacent to the KYCC and the Petronas Towers, you will find the Sky Bar. The Sky Bar offers unobstructed views of the Petronas Towers, which are particularly stunning viewed after nightfall. Music and light shows are provided to enhance the atmosphere along with a swimming pool adjacent to the bar. You can take a booth next to the floor to ceiling windows for probably the best bar view in Kuala Lumpur. There is a daily DJ on from 6pm to 9pm and you can currently buy 2 for 1 drinks during happy hour, which runs from 11am to 9pm. This bar has won many awards over the years including Asia’s Best Bar Award in 2016.
