Kuala Lumpur is a city that boasts crowded field of importers, restaurateurs, wine directors and sommeliers who are working diligently to support wine culture in Malaysia every possible way. We have come up with a list of wine bars and restaurants that will help you drink more, drink better, drink new things, all without spending too much money.
Claret Wine Bar
Claret is extraordinarily stunning and resembles a very swanky New York loft but without the pretention. Beautiful detailing with soft lighting, muted colours and lush couches, Claret creates a very metropolitan setting and looks like it came straight out from an episode of Sex and the City.
Opening Hours: Open daily, 4pm-1am
Highlight: The staff are incredibly well-informed when it comes to wine, and if you missed dinner, Claret has excellent food to accompany every selection of wine you make. Plus they play remarkable Jazz music.
Address: Tower B, The Troika, Level 23A Troika Sky Dining Kuala Lumpur.
