KLCC Nightlife

During the day, KLCC assumes the grave role of Malaysia’s centre of trade, finance and commerce. During the night, it lets its hair down and turns into a hotbed of nocturnal activities and after-dark fun. Clubs, bars and pubs scattered all over KLCC come to life at night, with the majority of them concentrated along Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail.

Jalan P Ramlee

When it comes to nightlife, Jalan P Ramlee is considered one of the city’s hottest venues. Unlike its neighbours in the Bukit Bintang area such as Changkat Bukit Bintang, Jalan P Ramlee has a wackier and more eccentric character. Lively and vibrant after dark, exciting nightlife options line the street, each looking as colourful on the inside as they do on the outside. (Read more...)

Around Sultan Ismail

Once the main nightlife district of Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Sultan Ismail is still reliable when it comes to nightlife despite rising competition from more happening areas such as Changkat Bukit Bintang and Asian Heritage Row. Located a short distance from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, getting off at the Dang Wangi LRT station will put you right at the beginning of the road. A stroll down Jalan Sultan Ismail takes you past many of the city’s premier nightspots as well as into more nightlife districts such as Jalan P. Ramlee.
