1) Zouk Kl
You can ask just about anyone where the best nightclub in Kuala Lumpur is and they will likely refer you to Zouk KL. This iconic spot next door to Trec is a top-rated club in both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
Set along Jalan Tun Razak, encompasses six dynamically different themed rooms (namely Aristo & Rooftop Garden, Barsonic, Main Room, Phuture, Terrace Bar and Velvet Underground), and with frequent appearances from international heavyweights such as Above & Beyond and DJ Tiesto, it’s no wonder that Zouk is still a favourite among KL-lites even after nine years of existence.

3) Havana Bar & Grill
Little Havana had long been an anchor point of the whole Changkat experience, one of the first independent bars and clubs in the city from the late ‘90s onwards. It gave the crowd good beers, a place for some live music (occasionally excellent); it was where you went pre-Laundry days for a fix of indie sounds.
International DJs sometimes spin upbeat tracks for a predominantly young crowd but their slew of retro hits every Friday and Saturday night seeks to bring the nostalgic and the wallflowers out on to the floor. Also look out for Kizomba and Salsa every Tuesday.

4) Under9 KL @ Underground Bar

Set within Bangunan Ming Annexe along Jalan Ampang, this compact club can accommodate about 130 people at a time, with local DJs spinning alternative tracks (such as psychedelic trance, techno, and house) on Friday and Saturday nights. Entrance is RM15 all night long, making it one of the most inexpensive nightclubs in the city center.
5) Gravity Club @ Mid Valley
Party it up at Gravity, which has now become one of KL’s more happening clubs to be seen at. Gravity constantly keeps the party crowd in KL going with an array of guest DJs spinning under one roof. Lights, music and drinks, the party goes on until the wee hours of the morning.

6) Barlai @ Pahit
This is for the chill boos to sway to acustic songs while enjoying a drink or two! Unconventional in both concept and location, Barlai promises a refreshing new bar experience in downtown KL. Inconspicuously located in a compact ground floor space among a row of mostly untouched 1920’s heritage houses, Pahit (once known as Barlai) a retro watering hole features an impressive selection of handcrafted alcoholic concoctions and some notable creations include the whiskey-based Milo Kaw and panda-infused Piña Colada.
