Kuala Lumpur nightlife has something to appeal to all tastes but it would be foolhardy for me to attempt to provide you with a comprehensive guide to all aspects of KL nightlife.
That makes me completely ancient and past-it as far as most nightlife is concerned. My Kuala Lumpur nightlife guide is therefore intended for the more mature audience - perhaps the independent traveller, the visiting businessman or a new expat who has nobody to show him or her around. What is cool and fashionable this month might be out of favour by the time you read this. It would be impossible for me on my own to try to keep the information up-to-date.
I would need to spend every waking moment visiting nightclubs and then I would have no time to climb mountains or do city walking tours or any of the other fun activities covered in this website. That would never do! For the younger crowd it might mean clubbing, for boozers it is sinking pint after pint in a pub, for others it is sophisticated dining and live entertainment.
Non-drinkers might prefer to spend time browsing KL's colourful night markets. If, like me, you are not a dance club person and you don't know your electro from your hip-hop then read on. Time Out Kuala Lumpur for example is an excellent source of information. Anyone wanting the names of specific nightlife venues, including some of a more salacious nature, could also refer to this website.
So instead of trying to provide you with a full list of every nightlife hotspot in KL I will instead highlight where the main nightlife areas can be found. You can then jump in a taxi to the area of your choice and wander around at your leisure until you find a venue that appeals to your taste.
