Kuala Lumpur
About Kuala Lumpur
Southeast Asian capital with a concentrated rooftop-and-hotel nightlife scene. Changkat Bukit Bintang runs the bar strip, Jalan P. Ramlee has the dressed-up club corridor, and a growing cocktail scene in Bangsar and TTDI aimed at the expat-and-creative set. Alcohol taxation tilts the scene upscale by default — drinks-as-statement territory.
