Tin Mine

Tin Mine
Lower Lobby
Crowne Plaza Mutiara
Jalan Sultan Ismail
50250 Kuala Lumpur

FB Search: Tin Mine Kuala Lumpur

Boogie wonderland….
In the larger framework of KL club culture it was a mere blink of the eye, but for those who were there, Crowne Plaza circa 2005 would have conjured up memories of late night underground house and techno sets with some of KL’s most respected local DJs. That was Sugar and it was only one of the club’s many incarnations. None has been as successful as its original but DJ Baby Joe Black aka Pream Anand is aiming to change all that. His takeover goes down 17 February 2011 and will see the chic downtown club go Top 40 on weekends and thematic on weekdays.

Asian Heritage Row party central….
Formerly known as Upstairs @ The Loft, while the name may have changed this well-established club-lounge has lost none of its vitality.

Always packed with young up-for-it party animals, if you’re looking to hook up, this is a good place to start. Closing time is at 5am! Dush-dush-dush!

Laundry

by Muna Noor on Friday, 28th January 2011


Laundry
G75 & 76, Ground Floor
Western Courtyard, The Curve
6 PJU 7/3
Mutiara Damansara
47800 Selangor
T: 03 7728 1715

Good, clean, fun!
Unpretentious, cool, Laundry would even be described as a little bit grimey if it weren’t so slickly located within The Curve’s socially engineered mélange of bars and restaurants. Despite its location it attracts a mix of hipsters, clubbers, hip hoppers and who dig the relaxed ambience, spartan concrete set up and credible and varied quality music offerings. Laundry is also home to the newly incepted Klub Pong, a night of heated battle with local music pushers over ping pong balls, bats and Heineken beers. Despite the trail of trendies that march through here on a regular basis you’re still likely to find regular folks downing beers and watching footie too – because everyone has to do Laundry.

Beach Club Cafe

Life’s a beach so let’s get pissed and party….
It’s a right of passage; “You haven’t been to KL until you’ve been to Beach Club” goes its tagline. There’s not a young impressionable tourist that doesn’t stop over in KL and not ask for directions to Beach Club, and as if to cement that reputation, it was voted “Best Bar of Asia” by asiaexpat.com.

Rum Jungle

Where the wild things are….
Predicated on the well meaning idea to bringing the natural elements of the lush tropical jungles of Malaysia to the metropolitan district of KL, this restaurant and club defines its tag line “Explore The Exotic” with the natives. The jungle canopy is a veritable theme park for adults with water features, flaming torches and aquariums, making it look straight off the set of Survivor or I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and the concept is one of live (usually covers) band-DJ combo.

Hex

by Marney Beliveau on Thursday, 6th January 2011

Hex
Unit DG–01 & 02, Block D, Menara Taiko
PJ Trade Centre
8 Jalan PJU 8/8A
Bandar Damansara Perdana
47820 Selangor
T: 03 7726 4133
www.hex.com.my
FB: Search Hex Sensory Room

Unpretentious suburban club and bar with minimalist sensibilities….
So new the wrapping is barely off Hex Sensory Room (to give it its full title); Hanger, JUICE’s high-fashion/streetwear spin off held the first parties there at the end of November 2010. Spacious, with clean lines and a neutral palate, Hex’s sparse but slick interior has been likened by jetting-setting, It girls and boys to a minimalist club in Stockholm. With rotating and guest DJs and the occasional live band providing late night fun on the floor, and an alfresco area in which to chill out with a beer, cocktail and some non-halal pukka English tucker, Hex has been casting a spell on clubbers and bar flies far beyond its Damansara Perdana location.
