Kuala Lumpur Nightlife

KL’s lively night scene can cater to any taste or fancy, be it a classical concert or all-night DJ set. While Malaysia may be a Muslim country, alcohol is freely available and many places offer happy hours. City slickers congregate in the glamorous addresses of KLCC, where some of finest see-and-be-seen bars enjoy elevated positions atop skyscrapers to provide fabulous vistas. The area around Changkat Bukit Bintang heaves with Western-style bars and pubs that attract a young, party-hard crowd, and the up-and-coming suburb of Bangsar, just south of the centre, promises a more relaxed vibe with cocktail bars and late-night speakeasies.

The website for Vision KL Magazine (www.visionkl.com) and Time Out (www.timeoutkl.com) are both packed with up-to-date nightlife listings.
