KLCC & Around
MARINI'S ON 57
BAR
( 2161 2880;
www.marinis57.com
; Level 57, Menara 3, Petronas KLCC; 5pm-1am; KLCC)
This is
about as close as you can get to eyeballing the upper levels of the Petronas Towers from a
bar. The sky-high vibe is complemented by superfriendly service that makes sure the
cocktails and bar snacks keep flowing. Check the website for its dress code before head-
ing over.
When booking (advised) be aware that it's the lively bar not the laid-back lounge that
has the view of the towers.
CLARET
WINE BAR
( 2162 0886;
www.troikaskydining.com/claret.html
;
Level 23A, Tower B, The Troika, Persiaran KLCC;
4pm-1am; Ampang Park)
Whether or not you're dining at Cantaloupe or Strato in the same
complex, a visit to Claret is recommended for the same sophisticated ambience and jaw-
dropping views across the KLCC park supplemented by a fine wine and cocktail menu. If
you're lucky someone may be playing the grand piano.
TATE
COCKTAIL BAR
(Ground fl, The Intermark, 182 Jln Tun Razak; ; Ampang Park)
One of the first of the 'secret'
speakeasy cocktails bars in the city, Tate keeps a low profile in the mall-like surroundings
of The Intermark. Find your way inside and you'll be surprised by the gentleman's
club-like atmosphere, complete with leather lounge chairs and a suit of armour, contrast-
ing against the sophisticated cocktail menu.
RAWCOFFEE
CAFE
(
www.rawcoffee.my
;
Wisma Equity Bldg, 150 Jln Ampang; 7.30am-7.30pm Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm Sat; KLCC)
They take coffee making very seriously at this operation in an office building lobby,
where the name RAW stands for Real And Wholesome. Beans are sourced from small co-
operatives and award-winning estates from around the world and prepared by baristas on
top-quality machines. The mainly vegan food selection is great too for those looking for a
healthy snack or lunch.
