Why party with two feet on the ground when you can take it higher up? Imagine: a glowy sunset, spectacular view over the Kuala Lumpur city lights while enjoying signature cocktails. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Yes, that’s why we listed the 5 best rooftop KL bars because this city sure knows how to party in style!
Marini’s on 57
This is one of the newest and highest rooftop bars KL has to offer. Here you can start your evening in the lounge, where you can enjoy the extensive cigar collection and some drinks. After this, continue your evening on the terrace, where you will have the closest (and highest) view on the Petronas Twin Towers in whole of KL and drink premium champagnes. Lastly enjoy your night with some high quality fine-dining in the restaurant. This bar has got everything it takes to bring your evening (literally) to the next level.
Heli Lounge Bar
This is personally one of my favorites. The unique concept, atmosphere and the fact that it has no windows makes this place magical. This bar is situated on a real helicopter landing stage, so it will offer you a real-life 360 view over the city and a very close view on the Petronas Towers and KL Tower. So great! Make sure you get here between 6pm to 9pm to get free entry. This rooftop bar also has an indoor bar, completely aviary-themed with real items from Boeing 747!
View Rooftop Bar
This rooftop bar takes your party 34 floors up on the G Tower. It is situated in the middle of Kuala Lumpur which will offer you a great view over the city. Fun fact: the G Tower was the first building in Malaysia to use recycled materials for their construction. They recently also made a big renovation in the bar to make it more sustainable and protected against weather conditions. Recommendations for when you go here are their signature, colourful cocktails and lamb hamburgers.
The 39 Restaurant
As a lot of rooftops in KL offer international cuisine, this one finally fulfills your cravings to Malay cuisine. On top of PNB Darby Park, you will find this authentic, modern Malay restaurant. Here the focus is on the presentation of the food and on using only the highest quality in ingredients. Prepare yourself for a traditional, fine looking Malay dinner that serves only non-alcoholic drinks such as teh tarik and kopi-o coffee.
Mai Bar
International cocktails, small bites, relaxing music, comfortable lounges and a spectacular view. A great place to watch the sunset and celebrate the weekend with your friends. This funky rooftop bar will get you in the party mode with all its colourful lights, the swimming pool and major tiki totems. Mai Bar is very easy to access as it’s just meters away from KL Sentral. Recommendations for this bar are the cocktails: Malaysian Princess Mai Tai. In this cocktail you will again find the tiki-theme, as the cocktails are served in a Tiki-themed mug. How creative!
