By: John Tan

There’s something exhilarating about finding a hidden bar — the kind that’s tucked behind a toy shop, nestled above a boutique hotel, or concealed behind a mirror. In Kuala Lumpur, the speakeasy scene is alive, mysterious, and full of surprises — and there’s no better way to explore it than on an EV scooter.

So gear up, charge your ride, and cruise through five of the best speakeasy bars in KL. These spots promise top-tier cocktails, incredible ambience, and a dose of adventure.

Hidden behind the façade of an old toy shop on Petaling Street, PS150 is a cocktail bar that transports you through eras of drinking culture. From its opium den-style front room to its modern lounge in the back, every corner of the bar tells a story — and the cocktails are just as inspired.
