Great nights out at U-bar

Capri by Fraser Kuala Lumpur Hotel Residences is a stylish hotel residence in the plush neighbourhood of Bangsar South. It’s highly accessible thanks to its strategic location between KL and Petaling Jaya, and offers guests all the mod-cons and facilities of a luxurious hotel with all the comforts of home.

A stand-out spot within the swanky hotel residence is U-bar, a cool space located on Level 33. This rooftop bar serves creative contemporary cocktails and a selection of premium wine, liquor and champagne, with a side of stunning panoramic views of the surrounding neighbourhood and city skyline; on a clear night, you can see all the way to the glittering lights of Genting Highlands!

The expansive 3,000 sq ft bar has both indoor and alfresco seating – so you can choose to enjoy your drink under the stars or indoors on comfortable sofas. Glass walls allow in plenty of natural light during the day, and deck chairs by the infinity pool are readily available for guests to soak in the views with a drink in hand – now that’s what we call a great time.

Upping the ante at U-bar is LIVE WIRE, a lively four-piece showband made up of multi-talented individuals whose charisma and chemistry on stage translate to consistently energetic and enjoyable performances.

Master guitarist Joseph is also a versatile singer, who often accompanies vocalists Joy – whose strong vocals and aptitude for high notes allow her to shift seamlessly between artists from Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan to Beyoncé – and Rizza, a highly accomplished singer who brings with her ten years of experience performing. Rounding up the quartet is the charming Ella, whose elegant dance moves light up the stage.

LIVE WIRE’s impressive repertoire of songs ranges from rock, oldies and jazz to R&B and Top 40 hits; they also perform in different languages when the occasion calls for it. With their years of playing on various hotel stages, LIVE WIRE’s highly entertaining sets will always make you want to get up and dance.

So, if you’re looking for a cool space to hang out with great music, delicious drinks and a fantastic view, U-bar should be at the top of your list.
