Once the main clubbing district of Kuala Lumpur, nightlife in Jalan Sultan Ismail is now limited to a handful of nocturnal hangout spots, serving as a starting point for those wishing to explore Kuala Lumpur’s nocturnal offerings. Located a short, five-minute stroll from the Raja Chulan Monorail Station, this street is lined with classy restaurants and cafes, as well as five-star luxury hotels such as ParkRoyal Kuala Lumpur, Sheraton Imperial Hotel, and Shangri-La Hotel.

Despite rising competition from more happening locales such as Changkat Bukit Bintang and Bangsar, there are still plenty of exciting activities and sights one can enjoy in Jalan Sultan Ismail’s nightlife scene. Kick-start your night out in KL by enjoying breathtaking sunset views of Kuala Lumpur city with a glass (or two) of wine or cocktail at a stylish rooftop bar before making your way to the iconic Hard Rock Cafe KL for ice-cold beers and a good dose of classic American rock tunes.
