The best ladies' nights in KL

Ladies, Thursdays just got better. From 5pm onwards, the drink deal at Terrazza is 2-for-1 on select cocktails and wines all night long. The stunning views of the Kuala Lumpur Tower and Petronas Twin Towers from your perch at the rooftop terrace though, now, that’s priceless. 

Get the girl gang back together and get ready to party at the aptly-named RUNCIT, a kedai runcit-themed speakeasy. Every Wednesday and Thursday, ladies get free flow crafted cocktails from 9pm until closing. If you’re not dancing, you’ll be walking (sorry) down memory lane over the drinks inspired by Malaysian childhood snacks, including Choki Choki and White Rabbit.

Desire is a slick speakeasy that’s perfect for those of you on the free flow prowl. On Thursdays, ladies drink for free until 3am. The lively club has fruity cocktails and fun DJs on deck that’ll see you flirting and dancing into the night. There’s even a snack menu if you need to power up; signature dishes include pulled beef tacos, nachos, wings and more.

The First Chapter, now at a new address in Bukit Damansara to be closer to its sister bar Benang on the same block, has ladies night every Wednesday. Beat mid-week blues with free flow cocktails from 10pm until midnight.

From the founders of The First Chapter comes Benang, the second chapter, tucked away in a back alley in Bukit Damansara. Every Thursday night from 10pm onwards, the speakeasy has free flow “tailored” (because of benang, get it) cocktails for ladies. It’s a buzzy spot. Reservations are encouraged.

Sip on cocktails and spill the tea with your besties at Vice Circa. On Thursdays, ladies enjoy free flow cocktails from 9pm onwards. But first, half the fun is in getting there: find the speakeasy through a hole in the wall along the alley between Ben's Independent Grocer and Yellow Brick Road, and then up a spiral staircase. Most nights are r’n’b nights.

We’re onto you, Bukit Damansara; this suburb keeps spawning more slinky, swanky speakeasies. Ms Bianca, the newest kid on the block, has free flow cocktails every Thursday night from 10pm onwards for ladies. DJs on deck bring the heat with everything from hip hop and r’n’b to house and techno. Reservations are encouraged.

It’s the most tropical fun a girl can have in town. Every Wednesday, girls get buy-one-free-one cocktails all night long at Kokomo while a rotating roster of DJs spin hot tunes on deck. A bottle purchase comes with a complimentary Polaroid photo print of you and your girl gang.

Free bevvies are a girl’s best friend. At The Record Speakeasy, ladies enjoy free flow cocktails every Thursday from 10pm onwards. There’s a huge dancefloor. Get groovy late into the night with ’90s and early ’00s hip hop and r’n’b. 

If it feels like Havana’s been around forever, you’re close; KLites have been dining, drinking and partying their nights away at Havana, the cornerstone of Changkat Bukit Bintang, for over twenty years. On Wednesdays, ladies get free drinks from 9pm onwards.

Treat your girls to a great night out at Brooklyn (the bar, not the borough). On Wednesdays, ladies enjoy free Azul shots and cocktails. If you swing by on Thursdays, ladies get free flow gin and vodka from 10pm until 2am. Reservations required. 

For your next girls’ night out, go to Crane. Make your way upstairs to the bar behind a red sliding door. Wednesdays are Midweek Mambo nights with free flow cocktails for ladies from 8pm until midnight. 

Looking for a cosy night out? Ladies, head to The Locker & Loft for free flow tuak and sangria from 7pm to 9pm, then complimentary shooters from 9pm to 11pm. It’s a great place to catch up with friends with chill and deep house tunes playing in the background.

Get over the mid-week hump in style at SkyBar on Wednesdays, when ladies get to enjoy buy-one-free-one cocktails by the cabanas. Grab a couple of girlfriends and enjoy the night overlooking the magnificent view of the Twin Towers.  

Wednesdays are extra special at this stylish rooftop bar and lounge, where ladies get to enjoy buy-1-free-1 deals for selected wines and cocktails. Head over for a relaxing mid-week drink and enjoy the view.

We know where you can head to on Wednesdays. Ladies get bottomless tuak cocktails for RM100 or bottomless wine for RM150 from 8pm to 11pm, and friendly bartenders can keep the drinks and conversations flowing throughout the night.

The elegant bar-lounge, formerly known as SARO, is situated in the heart of the city at Pavilion Elite. On Wednesday nights, ladies get complimentary drinks while stocks last at SIX by Saro. Look out for its themed parties.

This magical space offers ladies free crafted cocktails on Wednesdays and Thursdays until midnight. Come by with your girlfriends, admire the décor inspired by fairy tales and, of course, enjoy the drinks.

The helipad bar is an elevated (literally and otherwise) watering hole in the city with a sweeping view of the skyline. Leave the heels at home; you’ll have to climb up stairs. On Thursdays, ladies get free entry from 9pm to midnight and a complimentary welcome drink (for the first 50 entrants).

Ikigai ladies’ night is a cheeky mid-week escape for the ladies. Ladies enjoy free entrance as well as complimentary drinks while stocks last. Hip hop hits will make you want to dance all night and forget that it’s only just the middle of the week.
