The Attic Bar

The Attic Bar is a first-of-its-kind rooftop cocktail bar and restaurant hidden away in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, tucked discreetly on top of Travel Hub Guesthouse. This hidden gem serves classic cocktails alongside inventive one-of-a-kind creations featuring local twists that reflect Malaysia's vibrant flavors. Getting to The Attic is part of the experience itself—guests enter through a nondescript glass door marked by a red lantern at the hostel, navigate to the reception desk, then ascend via charming old wooden stairs and an authentic old-school spiral staircase that winds through a pathway reminiscent of vintage Chinatown streets. The real magic happens when you reach the rooftop: sweeping sunset views over south Kuala Lumpur, sight lines to the iconic Twin Towers, KL Tower, and the newer Merdeka Tower create an unforgettable backdrop for drinks and dining. The bar has earned serious recognition, voted as one of Kuala Lumpur's best cocktail bars by Time Out KL in 2016 and 2017, and selected as one of Malaysia's Top 30 Bars in 2022. The atmosphere blends urban sophistication with local character, making it ideal for cocktail enthusiasts, travelers, couples seeking romantic sunset moments, and anyone looking for an authentic Kuala Lumpur experience beyond the ordinary. Whether you're a hostel guest, local, or visitor, The Attic Bar offers craft cocktails, quality dining, and unmatched views in an intimate, curated setting.
