Kuala Lumpur Nightlife
Chic and trendy, KL urbanites live life to the max. With an influx
of tourists and expatriates, the city's nightlife blossomed into
one of the region's best. Offering some of the most cutting-edge
clubbing to local night-outs chatting at mamaks - food stalls typically
found at the roadside, there is an evening experience for everyone!
City Centre - Jalan P.Ramlee
This hip and happening nightspot is located just a few minutes'
walk from the spectacular KLCC smack in the heart of KL. Put on
your dancing shoes and rock the night away at clubs and bars. For
those looking for some caffeine fix, you'll be spoilt for choice
with a string of trendy cafe's.
Asian Heritage Row
Just next to the world class Sheraton Imperial Hotel, the Asian
Heritage Row is a block of refurbished pre-war shophouses that has
been transformed into bars, cafes, and restaurants. Here, exceptional
international cuisine available include Vietnamese, Lebanese and
Turkish.
Bintang Walk
This shopping paradise by day is transformed into a chic 'people-watching'
strip in the evening. Lined with al fresco cafes, chilling out here
is the ideal way to end your day of retail therapy.
Just outside the City Centre - Bangsar Baru
Featuring predominantly bars and pubs, Bangsar Baru has a few
mainstays that managed to stand the test of time such as La Bodega,
a tapas bar; Telawi Street Bistro (TSB), a popular restaurant and
bar; and Alexis, a favourite cafe' among 'KL-ians' that serves local
and Western cuisine.
Sri Hartamas / Mont ' Kiara
Desa Sri Hartamas is good for a quieter, 'chilled-out' night,
when a game of pool, foosball or just plain coffee is in order.
Further into the suburbs
Kuala Lumpur's satellite towns such as Petaling Jaya and Subang
also have entertainment districts. In Petaling Jaya, entertainment
outlets are concentrated in the SS2 residential-cum-commercial district,
while in the Subang Jaya township, the Taipan Triangle is most popular.
Pasar Malam
Another 'must-do' is visiting a pasar malam, or night market,
for some especially good value shopping and dining. Like a travelling
circus, pasar malam traders move from town to town, village to village
and community to community nightly to peddle their wares. The renowned
pasar malam in KL's Chinatown is open nightly. Other popular pasar
malams on different nights are located at Bangsar Baru, Taman Tun
Dr. Ismail, SS2 and Subang Jaya.
