You wouldn’t believe how energetic the people of Malaysia are at night. The destinations one can go to once the sun has set is limitless: pubs, clubs, specialty cafes, restaurants, and even sky-high rooftops. However, there’s been a trend that isn’t exactly new but has taken the interest of a new wave of night owls: speakeasy bars.
Speakeasy bars are basically underground drinking establishment that aren’t exactly easy to find. Most of these places don’t even have signs to tell you where they are, only those adventurous enough in the city are able to stumble into them. On your next trip here, you won’t just have to look for hotels in Petaling Jaya, you will also have to bring this list of speakeasy bars with you and experience a unique late night escapade.
Mr. Brooks
This place is easier to spot compared to other speakeasy bars, but Mr. Brooks still offers one of the most intimate and discreet places to hang out in. Located on the third floor of Bangsar Shopping Centre, Mr. Brooks is a gin and cocktail bar decorated like a British gentlemen’s club. Look for a makeshift garage with a purple Sunbeam Alpine Car parked inside. Find the tools panel on the wall, push through, and the entrance will be revealed to you.
Blue Elephant Bar
Found in Damansara, Petaling Jaya is the Blue Elephant Bar. It’s relatively new, so if you’re tired of overcrowded bars, this is the best place for you. Their interior takes inspiration from Hollywood with its stylish and glitzy design and portraits of iconic actors. To find it, you need to look for a doorway advertising the SCSG Corporate Service, the one with a blue light shining on the pavement. From there you will see posters lining the walls of a red-carpeted staircase; this will lead you to Blue Elephant Bar.
Whisky, Tango and Foxtrot Bar
Despite its hilarious acronym, Whisky, Tango and Foxtrot Bar offers a sophisticated ambiance and an extensive array of imported liquor and premium cigars (ones from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Cameroon). It can be found within Avenue K, next to Suria KLCC. You will need to find a narrow London telephone booth in the Samba Brazilian Steakhouse. The bar is furnished with dark-coloured chairs and tables and has big cabinets filled with different kinds of liquor, from Scottish malts to Japanese whiskies.
Tate Bar
If you’re looking for more than just sophistication, then you should definitely drop by classy Tate Bar. It has one of the most hard-to-find entrances, so you will have to keep your eyes peeled for this one. To find it, go to Intermark KL and head to the south side of the ground floor. You will need to look for a glossy wall with a light fixture shaped like a small top hat. Give the door a push and walk along its dimly lit corridors; there, you will be greeted by a suit of armour. Tate Bar gives off an exclusive gentleman’s club vibe, but rest assured that it is open to everyone.
So once you’ve dropped your bags in any of the Petaling Jaya hotels like The Royale BIntang The Curve, head on out to one of these speakeasy bars and have the time of your life.

5 Practical Tips to Avoid a Shopping Fiasco in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Holidays spent in a hotel in Selangor, Malaysia will not be complete without experiencing shopping in Petaling Jaya. This tourist destination is a commercial district that is home to a slew of malls and retail stores where you can indulge and splurge without breaking the bank. So if you’re planning to visit the town, here are some tips to remember to make your escapade more of a fun activity rather than a catastrophe.
1. Know the place
Petaling Jaya has always been regarded as one of the country’s most vital commercial areas. It is home to an array of shopping malls and retail centers where urban travelers usually flock. Today, this bustling hub houses some of the major shopping malls in Malaysia. Among these are:
The Curve Mall – presents a quaint weekly flea market where you can buy cheap and upscale fashion finds, antiques, collectibles, art pieces, and souvenirs
Location: No.6 Jalan PJU 7/3, Mutiara Damansara | Operating hours: 10:00 am to 10:00 pm
IKEA Mall – Asia’s largest IKEA store
Location: No.2 Jalan PJU 7/2, Mutiara Damansara | Operating hours: 9:30 am to 10:00 pm
Tesco Mutiara Damansara – a supermarket where you can purchase more affordable goods
Location: No. 8 Jalan PJU 7/4 Mutiara Damansara | Operating hours: 8:00 am to 1:00 am
One Utama Shopping Center – biggest shopping mall in central Petaling Jaya
Location: 1 Leboh Bandar Utama
2. Play it safe
Go on a weekday to avoid long lines at the cashier. Avoid wearing fancy jewelry or expensive accessories. Don’t be a target of thieves or pickpockets. You should also dress appropriately. Your most comfortable footwear and light shirts will save you from a stressful day.
3. Keep the discipline
Set a limit to the amount of money you’ll be spending. Create a shopping list and be faithful to it. To save more money, you can also bring reusable bags to carry your purchases. By doing this, you also support the move to save the planet from degradation.
4. Be wise
If your trip will take place on a regular holiday, you have to be extra smart when it comes to scouting for lower prices. Most of the time, there are bazaars around the city where you can ask for a lower price or even meet halfway with the seller. Also, remember to keep your receipts. Broken items, duplicate gifts, and wrong sizes, are unavoidable when shopping. Customers have the right to return or have these items replaced from the shopping center it was purchased. And that is possible by presenting the receipt of your purchase. Some stores also offer rebates when you present those little pieces of paper. So don’t throw them away; you’ll never know when you’re going to need it.
5. Find a hotel at Petaling Jaya to spend the night
A city retreat, like The Royale Bintang The Curve, presents a convenient place for accessing the above mentioned shopping paradise. Staying in this 5-star hotel in Petaling Jaya before or after your shopping spree will certainly provide you that much-needed rest. Boasting an enviable location flocked by key places of interest but still within easy access to Kuala Lumpur, this hotel in Selangor, Malaysia brings you close to the best deals in the metro.
