Best free live music nights in KL

If you don’t want to spend the night listening to overproduced tracks or loops of popular hits, head to Alexis where jazz – with blues, soul, bossa nova, swing, classics and more thrown into the mix – take centre stage. Aside from featuring local veteran performers, the venue often hosts international musicians (cover charge may apply).
Free gigs on selected Fridays and Saturdays.

Freedom of speech or music is the rule at this creative space. Don’t be surprised to hear someone belting a song about a political figure or a band bemoaning some social injustice. There’s no cover charge but you’ll have to buy a drink. If you like what you hear, leave a tip.
Free gigs from Tuesday to Saturday.
