Kuala Lumpur Nightlife

KL's nightlife is buzzing with a year-round calendar that's packed with theme nights, live performances and international deejays. Whatever your preference, the city has it. Big and small clubs, long-established and spanking new bars vie for your attention. You'll find every genre of music being played any night of the week in sleek lounge bars or at tourist-friendly clubs. Some of the city's best venues have their dance floors vibrating to the sounds of hip hop, house, trance and top 40.

For more than a decade, Zouk KL, the city's top club, has been bringing in the best international deejays; some of the city's top local deejays spin here too. The club is a sophisticated homage, in terms of décor, to retro glam; with underground spaces that double up as dancing floors and comedy clubs. Zouk KL never fails to surprise and stun with their lineup of shows, live acts and world-class deejays.

No Black Tie is a Malaysian institution- offering up the best space for live acts, both local and foreign. The space is intimate and personal, with excellent acoustics. Poets and artists mix and mingle here; many young, up and coming musicians have been discovered on its stage. No Black Tie is the city's platform to uncover all types of musicians.

At number three is Euphoria by Ministry of Sound. Even though it may be a good 20 minutes out of the city, but Euphoria by Ministry of Sound always has the knack of throwing a good party with some of the best DJs. It has everything going for it - a great space with an expansive dance floor and groovin' music seven days a week plus it's a non-smoking venue. Sky Bar is a roof-top bar and lounge that offers outstanding views of the adjacent Petronas Twin Towers; it also comes with a pool in the middle, seating all around and killer cocktails.
