Gone are the nights when you and your friends have to pick between a wine bar and your favourite neighbourhood pub. At Gold Bar, you’ll get the best of both worlds, and more. The space is divided into a roomy dining area and the bar, where you’ll find fresh beers on tap. Craft beers primarily rule the drinks menu, but the wine list is something you shouldn’t turn away from either.
The bar currently has seven beers on tap including pale ale, Goldie (lager) and wheat beer, with plans to expand their selection. If you’re not too sure what to order, the blackboard above the taps provides basic information like alcohol content and flavour profile; if you want a small tasting, the beer flight goes at RM50 for three different varieties. Bottled beers and ciders are also available.
If you’re not up for a pint, Gold Bar has an attractive wine collection. The prices here are pretty affordable; the house red, white or rosé goes for only RM18 per glass. Other selections include champagne, sparkling wine and dessert wine. Don’t fret as non-alcoholic options are also available, including coffee, tea, handcrafted sodas and more.
Gold Bar is looking to introduce a beer dining experience, where craft beer is paired with food specially made in-house. There will be tapas (skewers, and fries with truffle and parmesan), mains (like duck and fish dishes), appetisers (featuring ibérico pork sliders and confit onion tarts) as well as desserts. However, best leave the pairing to the experts.
Do note that you get ten percent off when you take away wines or six bottled beers. Also, Gold Bar is the first to provide beer catering services.
