Changkat, Bukit Bintang

Hosting heaps of themed nights, talented DJs, and live band shows, it's safe to say that Changkat Bukit Bintang's nightlife is anything but boring. Among the many watering holes available here, there are a few establishments that stand out because of their unique concepts. Stand-up comedy, international film screenings and open mic nights are just some of the activities you can find in this area.

Bangsar

Bangsar and Mid Valley play hosts to a number of trendy resto-bars, pubs, and cocktail lounges. Most of these nightlife hotspots are concentrated around Jalan Telawi in Bangsar Baru and are within walking distances from each other. A 10- minute drive from KL city centre, the area is always bustling with late-night revellers every Friday until Sunday.

Ampang

It goes without saying that the nightlife in Ampang is diverse; rooftop bars are ideal for those who choose to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying a breathtaking view of KL's glittering skyline, while late-night enthusiasts should head to one of the city's largest nightclubs to mingle with fashion-forward locals and dance the night away to heart-wrenching electronic dance music.

Petaling Street

Petaling Street is a league of its own. It's not about rows of clubs, pubs and bars providing music-and-alcohol-fuelled entertainment, but the lively after-dark market that dominates the nightlife scene here. The entire area is turned into a lively and vibrant night market when the sun sets. You can also find a variety of nightlife hotspots here, from inns complete with outdoor rooftop bars to chatelaines and cocktail bars are hidden along narrow alleyways.

Marini's On 57

Housed on Petronas 3 Tower's 57th floor, the views here are spectacular-so spectacular that drinking is almost an afterthought. The views here are really the gist. The Marini's also features an Italian restaurant and cigar lounge, making it a one-stop choice for swanky tourists and urbanite workers.

JungleBird Bar

You may be tempted to call this a tiki bar at first but there's nothing tiki-tacky about it. Furnished with bamboo and rattan furniture, green palm wallpapers and bartenders sporting Hawaiian shirts — but all tasteful and understated, balanced with sleek lines and contemporary elements, the Jungle Bar stands out most for its rum and a drink called 'Closed on Mondays' made of tequila, coconut milk, salted egg yolk, red chilli and curry leaf syrup and served by the salted-egg squid.

The Iron Fairies KL

This bar sits on a list as one of the most expensive bars built in Kuala Lumpur. They have created an intricately designed space, crafted by Ashley Sutton, one of the most famous bar designers in Asia. Visitors can enjoy a wild night as far as imagination goes when spending their time here. The visuals bring out a romantic and fantasy-like setting for anyone who comes here. The colour tone in the designs are set due to the vision that Ashley has. The story behind the name ‘The Iron Fairies’ drawls out from an old book that the designer once wrote about at the age of 17, while working in a mine. It imagines a world of fairies created from iron. There’s no lack of what this place has to bring in terms of food, drinks, entertainment, and positive vibes.
