Nightlife

In Kuala Lumpur, we have several main nightlife clusters:

  1. Jalan Petaling, especially Kwai Chai Hong and Jalan Sultan parallel to it. Famous bars include G-String, PS150. Goers are mostly Malaysians.
  2. Changkat Bukit Bintang — The original, most popular nightlife area full of small clubs and foreigner-owned dive bars. It’s also a red light district full of working ladies and dodgy characters, so be careful! Most crowded: Pisco Bar, Havana.
  3. TREC KL — The new purpose-made complex for nightlife. This place has almost no beggars because its not possible to walk here from anywhere, you have to Grab/drive here. Goers are good mix of locals and foreigners.
  4. Jalan Telawi 1/2/3/4 at Bangsar. Highlight: CuBar for latin american dances.

Apart from clusters, some of the most popular dance clubs include:

  1. Gēmu Club right behind Pavilion Bukit Bintang — Easily the best pop/kpop dance clubs full of Malaysian youngsters.
  2. Pitt Club at KL Life Ctr — Very good lighting and sound system setup.
  3. Spark at TREC (formerly Zouk KL) — But I find it too crowded.
  4. CuBar at Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar — Salsa, bachata, merengue and more.
