    I highly recommend this bar/ lounge if you want to have a unique experience while in KL.

    It's located on the 34th floor of the Menera KL hotel.

    After you reach the 34th floor, you still have to climb at another 4 flights of steps to reach the reception area.

    It costs RM 22 entrance fees. That includes 2 drinks that are printed on your receipt. There's another two flights of stairs to get to the helipad.

    There's plenty of seating. And you get 360° views of KL. It's especially beautiful after dark where the city lights up.

    They serve food, too. I didn't buy any since I already had dinner.

    Came here a few days ago with a friend, great location and amazing view, but service could be improved! Seem the staff would rather chat amongst themselves then actually help guests- but if you want a chill environment and great view this is the place

    Very cosy cocktail bar in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur! Great choice at good prices! Booking is recommended because this bar is very popular

    Amazing atmosphere, I ended up on an evening when there was a live band - totally fantastic! And they have two main halls, one is a proper night club with house music, while the main hall is all DJ pop dance style, so everyone can find their place! Very decent cocktails also. And altogether pretty safe, especially when you are a foreigner. I truly recommend!

    Great comedians! Great show! Great service! Space is a little tight though but I had a good laugh during the show that I forgot everything about it!

    U9 is the best thing to happen in KL since The Backroom and Rumah Api (both long gone). Support it and keep it alive!

    I have been to comedy clubs all over the world and this is truly is one of the best. The venue is built for it, the atmosphere and the people are all inviting. Before is starts there is an air of expectation, an expectation of hope for brilliance and that hope unlike Obama's 'hope' was met and even exceeded.

    The acts were good, the host was hilarious but the headliner was not just a comedy genius but he planted seeds of love and rebellion in the hearts of audience. Watching him made me want to be a comedian, made me want to be him. I will definitely go back and I just hope it can be as good next time.

    Come hungry, the wanton mee at the front smells delicious. The bar and drinks are totally Instagrammable. We went on a Wednesday night and the live entertainment was disappointing. Didn’t do justice to the other reviews I’ve seen. Otherwise, great service, acceptable drinks, an interesting holochim table where you can use your winnings to offset the final bill.

    First off, this is a review on their delivery service and not dine-in.

    Travel into the future by “tasting today what the rest of the world will be eating tomorrow”. A promise made by this trendy bistro. The secret to bar food is simplicity, finger licking good and the ability to eat whilst having a casual chat with your mates less all the sophisticated tete-а-tete fancy plating. But can they delivery this futuristic promise to our doorstep?

    Service: We placed the order via a third party app which was pretty straight forward.

    Packaging: Ordinary take away boxes.

    Garlic Chicken (RM 23)

    The chicken was flavourful with a nice touch of garlic though it was a little dry given the nature of chicken breast. The potatoes were moist and charred on the edges with a sprinkle of herbs over the top.

    Recommended? It made a nice finger food but could have been better had they used red meat.

    Garlic Prawns (RM 35)

    Nothing brings a huge smile to our faces better than fresh, crunchy, devined prawns sat upon crispy garlic and sun dried bread. Al thought it was a little oily, it was dripping with flavour and extremely addictive.

    Recommended? There was no better parter in crime to fill our tummies on a Friday whilst amongst our mates on a night of wild rioting and debauchery

    Reminds me of those small comedy clubs back in Oz- creative, grungey, informal, friendly vibe and inviting. The host, Rizal Van Geyzel, is a local class act. Talented and very funny. Watched many a shows here and have enjoyed both the local and foreign comedians. Discovered some great talents from here too like - Jason Leong. Really glad that such a place exists in Kuala Lumpur and how it has helped spawn a community of local comedians since and introducing them to the international spotlight. I'm big comedy buff and knew about this place a while back as I've attended many early shows associated with Comedy Club Asia in Singapore. The founder of the club (who is also a very talented comedian himself), Jon Atherton, had told me about kickstarting Crackhouse in KL and I had always wanted to check it out. Now that I've moved here, I have kept coming back since! Drinks are reasonably priced, clean and very creative bathroom art, location is close to eateries. I highly recommend this place :)

    Dearly departed, we are gathered here today to embark you on a night of macabre memories with strong potions concocted by bar tenders setting the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable night of rioting drunkenness and debauchery with your mates! This speak easy bar tucked within the depths of the dimly lit streets of Chinatown emitting an extremely eerie yet cheeky vibe.

    Locating the bar requires some detective work as it does not have a sign pointing you in the right direction. The entrance is simply a non-conspicuous blue door located beside mingle cafe requiring a secret password granting you entry into the beyond. Once you get past the “door man” at the bottom of the steps, proceed up and through the dimly lit interior which shares an uncanny resemblance to a Chinese funeral parlour with even a Chinese medicinal drawer taking center stage.

    For those with a feint heart, fear not! The up-beat music and friendly wait staff are never far to help diminish any fears. The eerie vibes do not stop at the decor, most drinks and even the food arrive with a pretty interesting plating and decor. Most cocktails hold memorable names with pretty unorthodox ingredients with some even arriving with worms! Don’t forget to try their signature drinks, Petty Person Beating (RM 45), I Come On Your Grave (RM45) and their extremely crunchy Fire Nachos (RM21).
