There are many more interesting themed bars to be discovered than the ones in the busy street of Changkat.
1.45am Bar KL is a hidden bar in Chinatown where, when you finally find it up some flight of stairs through what looks to be an abandoned shop lot, the entrance is a rainbow-coloured passageway lined with LED light strips and mirrored doors. The walls of the bar are covered with neon writings and decor. The alcohol there is reasonably priced, and they also have a beer pong table!
Address: No 63 B, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
The Deceased KL is not exactly that hidden, but there is no conspicuous sign out front. This immersive bar is horror-themed, with bloody handprints on the walls and decorative props of the deceased (with one strategically placed right at the front door). Their Asian-inspired cocktails come in traditional oriental bowls and cups, infused with Chinese herbs and spices.
Address: No 55, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
4. Bring Your Furkid to The Waterfront @Desa ParkCity
If you’re looking for a fun place to bring your furry companion who keeps making googly eyes at you whenever you go out, take them to the Waterfront at Desa ParkCity! Saunter around the beautiful dog park and catch glimpses of fish and tortoises in the lake. There are even dog waste bag dispensers scattered around the park, so be sure to clean up after your furkids.
After that, you can head over to the Waterfront retail centre to nurse your hunger. Some of the restaurants and cafes allow you to sit with your dogs outside while you dine.
Address: No 5, Persiaran Residen, Desa Parkcity, 52200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
5. Crackhouse Comedy Club
If you’re feeling down in the dumps and could really use a laugh, head down to the Crackhouse Comedy Club for entertaining and hilarious open-mic nights. They have shows every Friday, Saturday and Wednesday night with an affordable entree price of just RM20.
Address: No 24A, Lorong Rahim Kajai 14, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur.
6. Take a Cooking Class at ABC Cooking Studio

A teacher will guide you in this very hands-on lesson, and when you’re done, you can pig out on the food that you’ve lovingly prepared.
