SkyBar

SkyBar is a KL fixture, and the first bar to popularize the high-rise setting in Malaysia. Located on the 33rd level of Trader’s Hotel, SkyBar arguably claims the best view of the towers. The bar is a two-story venue surrounding the Trader’s pool with coveted booths wedged between panoramic windows. The bar was recently refreshed with new seating and a second bar to meet peak capacities. SkyBar revamps its menu every season, but that doesn’t discourage bartenders from playing around with the drink menu. Cocktails appeal to the Malaysian palette, with sweet tamarind syrups and hints of ginger, and the ever-popular Kiwitini that features crushed kiwi and lychee rose. The food menu was also transformed to please happy hour crowds, with finger food and bar snacks like satay and fried calamari. For holidays and private events, SkyBar transforms into a happening nightlife destination with visiting DJs from Paris, Bali, and Dubai.
