There’s no screaming sign here, but in-the-know patrons walk up a stairway (hint: look for The Prep Room) to gain entry via a vault door – hence, The Vault KL. Belly up to the bar to seek solace in a carefully curated list of cocktails and classics: The Vault Heist comes with lemongrass-infused vodka, the passion fruit martini smacks of something sweet, and the Smokey Negroni (London dry gin, Italian sweet vermouth, peated Islay whisky) is so strong it could serve itself.
