Drinking
Barcelona
(Jln North Yu Seng; draught beer RM8-12; 4pm-2am, happy hour 4-9pm)
More equat-
orial than Iberian, this place has a relaxed, upscale vibe and a big screen for footy. Seating
is open-air at wooden tables. Liquid specialities range from Spanish and Australian wines
to mojitos (RM15) and sex on the beach (RM20), not something you often find in Malay-
sia. Serves tapas and some Western dishes. The bar next door, WorldClub Station, hosts a
rockin' Filipino band from 10pm to 2am daily except Monday.
BAR
Pelita Commercial Centre
(cnr Jln Miri Pujut & Jln Sehati)
If you're keen on a pub crawl, consider catching a cab to
this warren of small streets lined with pubs, cafes, restaurants and dodgy karaoke places
3km north of the centre. Don't mess with the local toughs.
