From the buzzing and popular Changkat Bukit Bintang and Asian Heritage Row strips in KL to Kota Kinabalu’s Waterfront and Penang’s happening spots, good bars are not hard to find in Malaysia. KL hosts the trendiest hangouts with rooftop bars, SkyBar and Luna Bar among the favourites, though other city’s prime establishments are hot on their heels.

Penang’s high-end hotels, for example, attract the island’s elite to G Spot at the G Hotel and the sophisticated Farquhar’s Bar at the Eastern & Oriental. But more affordable bars too can be found across Malaysia serving high quality drinks in often unique environments. It’s these outlets that keep residents and visitors partying, relaxing, people-watching and drinking year long. So whether it’s a latte and a view or a vodka and a dance you’re after, Malaysia’s bars and hang-outs are sure to provide.
