DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Bar-hopping along Changat Bukit Bintang is a must. No Black Tie (

)
is a
sophisticated place for a drink, usually with live music. If you just want to chill with a
beer or iced coffee and watch the passing parade, then settle into a sidewalk seat on
Jln Alor.
Golden Triangle
PALATE PALETTE
(

; 21 Jln Mesui; noon-midnight Tue-Thu, to 2am Fri & Sat; ; monorail Raja Chulan)
Co-
lourful, creative, quirky and supercool this cafe-bar is our favourite place to eat, drink, play
board games and mingle with KL's boho crowd. The menu (mains RM10 to RM30) fea-
tures dishes as diverse as shepherd's pie and teriyaki salmon. Check the website for details
of events such as free indie movie nights and the queer community party organised by
Rainbow Rojak (
www.facebook.com/RainbowRojak
) on the first Friday of the month,
which includes musical and spoken-word performances.

;
Level 34, Menara KH, Jln Sultan Ishmail; 6pm-midnight Mon-
Wed, to 2am Fri, to 3am Sat; ; monorail Raja Chulan)
Nothing besides your lychee martini and the
cocktail waiter stands between you and the edge of the helipad at KL's most thrilling
rooftop bar. The interior, a couple of flights of stairs down, is cheesy to the max so only
come if the weather's fine when the unsheltered rooftop is open and the view simply amaz-
ing.
TAPS BEER BAR
CRAFT BEER
