Top 5 Cocktail Bars in Malaysia

Third Floor, 15, Jalan Balai Polis, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“Nice Speakeasy bar located on the third floor of the hotel. Lovely decoration, outdoor terrace available, super good cocktails cheaper than other bars in the district”

Lot 2, Jalan Panggong, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“Came here to drink their cocktails and enjoy the weekend vibe. They open at 5pm. Is better for you to make a reservation if you don't want to get disappointment as there is limited seats. We ordered Pineapple and Green Day. Both cocktails are very delicious and the service crews are so friendly and attentive.”

2, Jalan Pantai Chenang, Kampung Lubok Buaya, 07000 Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia

“Way too expensive for a backpacker🤣 Soju is reasonably priced though. This is the main spot to watch sunset and after that fire dancers. Bartender guy was really friendly and it was nice to listen to him sing while he was working 😁”

63, Jalan Magazine, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

“It’s a cool hidden speakeasy but their drinks aren’t particularly inspiring; in fact, they were downright boring and even more so for their price point. Staff also ignored us for a solid 20 minutes even tho we pressed the bell for service 3x”

Level 59, Banyan Tree, 2, Jalan Conlay, Kuala Lumpur, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia

“Great views, you can see alot of the city if you walk around the rooftop! Some songs were just too loud which made it difficult to hear ourselves. The waiters were friendly and joyful 🤌. The drinks were not my favourite though. Would like to return during daytime for the views.”

6-G, Jalan Abdullah, Bangsar, 59000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“Nice ambience hidden bar. Good place to hang out with friends or colleagues . Their drinks are mostly mixed and blended by themselves with local twist, refreshing and new taste. We only had the nachos as finger food. And is ok. Will come back again with friends and try more of their drinks and food.”

61M, Jalan Medan Setia 1, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“A great place with great drinks and food run by great owners. For drinks, I highly recommend having their Mary Poppins. It's a great twist on a Bloody Mary. But the other drinks like the grog, clarified Pina colada and best ever drink are also delicious. For food, don't miss out on their Cubano and Jamaican patties. Try out their extensive rum collection as well. They are Kuala Lumpur's rum bar after all.”

39, Jalan Gurdwara, George Town, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

“Amazing bar to go in Penang and highly recommended! Kudos to the great service and drinks by Kelvin, Jensen and a few service staff and bartenders. It definitely lives up by its name - just where good friends meet! It should make it to the top few cocktails bar in Malaysia!”

37, Jalan Gurdwara, 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

“Interesting drinks, cozy atmosphere and good service. Some of the drinks were good but most were not well mixed. Favourite drink was surprisingly the soy sauce one which the staff recommended!”

88, Jalan Kampung Pantai, 75200 Melaka, Malaysia

“Very, very nice place to chill and enjoy cocktails. Acoustic liveband, comfortable seating and really awesome drink selection. Definitely a good speakeasy bar to hang out at on a Melaka nite. The back is also facing the Melaka river very relaxing environment. Worth 5 stars.”

Plaza Damas, Dorsett Hotel Hartamas @ ROOFTOP 27th Floor, 60, Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“The food is good. Ordered Tom yam, broccoli garlic sauce, pandan chicken and pineapple fried rice. We tried the green curry pizza as well, but I think the cheese was a little overpowering so we could not really taste much of the green curry, unless we removed the cheese. Don’t think it’s just mozzarella cheese in the pizza, I’m sure it was a mixture of other types of cheese. But overall, all is great, the ambience and service was superb too! (:”

5, Jalan Sri Hartamas 7, Taman Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

“Drinks deserve additional star. This bartender seems cheerful. We went slightly earlier around 2130 and the bartender can still entertain us and chit chat. He did inform that the crowd will come in around 2230-2300. There were smokers everywhere and they cranked up the music. 3 star because I didn’t like that they allowed people to smoke and vape indoors. Generally, didn’t like the atmosphere. Been to better speakeasy”

42A, Jalan SS 20/10, Damansara Kim, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

“Came here after having dinner at SS2. The entrance to this place is not hard to find and there’s ample of free parking place available. Once you open the door, you will be amazed by the decors inside. The decors is based on a tailor shop. …”

147, Jalan Petaling, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
